Thank you! Thank you parents for making our party so special for
Valentine's Day.
I think the kids really enjoyed the games, food, decorations and
picture booth area.
I really appreciate our homeroom parents for working so hard
and for so many of
you coming or sending things in to make our party special.
Also, Thank you all for my lovely class gift! I loved the flowers,
card and beautiful
reusable pitcher. I loved all the individual cards and gifts of coffee,
chocolate and flowers too.
You guys really made me feel appreciated.

our final stories.
We will also review what we did on the Writing STAAR last week going over the
right answers. Next week these will come home for you to look at with your child.
Reading- We will continue to work on fact vs. opinion, theme and summary as
well as working with our reading partner.
