This coming week is going to be an exciting one for the students. On Tuesday morning, Robert Rivest, a professional mime, will be performing for the students on the topics of stress management and kindness. Wednesday afternoon our class will be having another Four Winds environmental science lesson. Friday the entire 3-5 pod will be taking part in a whole-day Read-a-thon. We have planned different reading related activities for the students throughout the day and arranged to have some special guest readers.
As if that weren't enough, next week is also Spirit Week for the school. Please see the schedule for the spirit days below.
Spirit Week
Tuesday- "Crazy Day" (like fashion disaster, crazy hairdo, etc.)
Wednesday- Last Name Day (everyone is addressed by last name; for example - Mr. Sanders)
Thursday- Hat Day
Friday - Pajama Day (can wear outer layer pjs & can bring a stuffed animal)
And of course, students are also welcome to bring in valentines for their friends on Friday. My only request is that, if they choose to send in valentines, students provide a valentine for each of the classmates. I sent home a list of students' names in the Friday Folder, so your child can be sure not to accidentally leave anybody out.
Also in the Friday Folder was the February Scholastic Book Order. Orders are due this Thursday (February 12th), which means we should receive the books shortly after the break. There is a coupon included for a free book when you place an order of at least $10.
Don't forget -- This week is the final week for the Box Tops competition. Our class is still in the lead, but there is a class closing the gap so please send in any final Box Tops that you can find around the house.
