The School Fair is next Wednesday, February 22nd. I have not assigned any ixL math this week, to allow for more time to work on your child’s choice of a project (mission model, scrapbook, or video) and to put the finishing touches on the informational posters, which we have started to work on in class. These will be sent home on Friday. Tomorrow we will celebrate Valentine’s Day with a Valentines exchange and small treat. Students may come in P.E. appropriate free dress. This Friday is a half-day, and next Monday is President’s Day (no school!).
