Thanks to everyone who brought in headphones today! The students had a really great time using the tablet while they got to do some word work and listen to reading! Please check out up coming announcements:

1. Snuggle up and Read: I was having some trouble getting my books back with the snuggle up and read program, however I know this program motivates the students to read at home, so I would like to continue it! I will have a sign in and out sheet now for each student (like a library). If the children do bring back their books every Monday, they will not get to sign out a new one. Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated! Parents should also be writing down the minutes on the calendar so I can track how much they are reading! For every 100 minutes, they will get a stick to add to their log J

2. Registration Packages went home just before the holidays. I hope to see every back next year! Please be sure to register as soon as possible, as these spots fill up quickly. The deadline for maintaining a spot for next year is February 20^th, 2014!

3. International Day will be held this year on Friday, January 23^rd, 2015. We will be in the gym from 2:30pm to 3:20pm. At this time, parents are able to come in and explore the other countries! The students will be learning about Italy. I am so excited to explore this country with the class, especially since I am Italian J. Students will be using their own information to learn about Italy. I am asking that each child print off some basic information regarding our country, so we can work on this next week! Thank you for you help!
