We enjoyed our morning in the library! Mrs. Elder allowed us to listen to her read us a great book called The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes, in our tree house!

We even were able to slide down the slide because of our awesome behavior!

Dear Parents,

Our Valentine’s Day party is scheduled for Tuesday, February 14th, from 12:00 to 1:00. Your child can create a Valentine box or sack at home to bring to school. Please bring the box or sack by Friday, February 10th.  If your child is unable to bring a box or sack I will have materials for them to make one here at school that Friday.  Your child is to bring a Valentine card for each of his/her classmates. You may start sending the Valentine’s cards to school Friday, February 10th. Please try to bring them no later than Monday, February 13th. Please do not send anything with peanut butter ingredients because we do have allergies in the school. Your child may copy the class list below on the outside of their cards. Our room mothers for this party will be contacting you if you completed a pink room mother form.  They may be asking for help with food items and/or help at the party.  All parents are welcome to come and enjoy the party with your child.  We are looking forward to a fun, exciting party.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Brandi Barlow

Today the students and I worked on reading a passage and learning to prove our answers.  Even when the questions are inference questions we can still find something in the passge to help us.  We discussed and practiced good strategies to help us be good readers that are thinking about our stories.  We should always go back and reread to make sure we understood what we read.  They are learning to read a story or passage, read the questions, then go back and locate the correct information to show why they chose or wrote their answer.  They need to make sure they read the directions and follow them correctly.  We are also working on writing complete sentences when answering questions.  I hope this example that we did helps them be successful and helps them understand our expectations.  Thank you for your support!
