Fabulous February!!!

Hello Parents and Students!
Progress reports went out today, and I will be available for the next few weeks after school for conferences. Please let me know if and when you would like to meet.

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays because it is all about saying and doing something nice for someone else. Thursday we will decorate Valentine envelopes and if you have art supplies at home (glue sticks, scissors, glitter) we would love to use them! We will have a small party on Friday so feel free to send in your favorite treats to share and a Valentine for each student in the class. I will send out a class list this week.

Love of Reading week is next week and we have activities planned each day. I will be reading some of my favorite books to the class and each student will be reading from their favorite books as well. We will have "poem in a pocket" day, guest readers, and "dress up as your favorite literary character" day. You can help by donating some books you have at home to build up our classroom library.

This time of year it becomes imperative for students to know their times tables and division facts. Please quiz your kid! The more you practice at home, the easier time they will have in school.

Keep reading, reading, reading!! At least 20 minutes a day. We are competing in a Bookman's challenge to earn money for our school library. Students are filling out a small form for each book they read and it is being logged against other schools in Arizona. We have a great chance of winning and I know we can do it!

Science Projects are due next week! Please read the science packet, it has all the information and examples.

Have a great month!

Miss Rubasch
