  Have a wonderful February vacation with your lovely children!  I will look forward to seeing them when they come back!

The week we come back, we will be doing a lot of activities regarding Dr. Seuss books.  This will culminate with our field trip to Seussical, the Musical on Friday.  Don't forget, we will need a bagged lunch and a drink in a plastic container on that day. 

After that, we will start our lengthy study of dinosaurs.  We will be doing a research project on a particular dinosaur.  Children will pick the dinosaur that they want to study.  Anyone that would like to chaperone the field trip to the Boston Museum of Science on Thursday, March 29th, would be more than welcome to join us!  Let me know.

Have a great week, Nancy

Snow days were always one of my favorite memories when my children were young.  It was a fun family day to make cookies or do crafts or just have fun with your child.  Enjoy the snow day!

Since we have a snow day today, our plans for Valentine's Day have changed.  We will watch March of the Penguins tomorrow afternoon and open our  Valentine cards at that time. 

If you would like to send in an extra snack and drink for your child, we will have a second snack when we watch the movie.  I will stop and pick up a bag of popcorn for anyone that does not read this message.

We finished this week learning about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and their impact on the USA.  I will be reviewing that next week in hopes that the students that were absent will get a better understanding of these two great presidents.   We will also be celebrating Valentine's Day and the 100th day of school.  Valentine's Day falls on Early Release Wednesday and we will watch March of the Penguins that day. 

Please let me know if you need any books for your reading genre poster project.  I have been giving them out when I get your requests but let me know if you need any others.  All these books will count towards the Read to Feed fundraiser as well as the book club totals so keep on reading!

We will also have a week reading Dr. Seuss books to get familiar with them before we go to Seussical, the Musical.  If you have not sent in your permission slip and money, please do so as soon as possible. 

 Have a wonderful weekend, Nancy

We have had a lot of students out today with two different kinds of illnesses.  The first one seems to be a fever and not feeling well and the other one seems to be a stomach bug.  By the end of the day, more than half our class was out.  I reminded the kids to wash their hands. I hope everyone is feeling better soon.
