Valentine FUN Info for Parents!
We will have a small and simple Valentine Party in class on Feb. 13th. I will not need parent help at the party, but if you would like to supply some items for the party I have included a list below of what I need.
1. 4-5 sheets of red or pink tissue paper.
If you plan to supply one of these items, please send it to school ASAP, or simply let me know so that I do not go purchase it myself. Your help is greatly appreciated!
We will be creating "Monster" Valentines bags in class, so students DO NOT need to create a Valentine box. Students will be able to bring and pass out Valentines to their classmates if they desire; however, they must bring a Valentine for EVERYONE in the class. We have 22 students.
* I recommend only writing who the Valentine is from and leaving the "TO" slot blank. This helps the passing out of Valentines run more smoothly and quickly.
* Homemade treats are NOT allowed to passed out at school. (District Policy)

SEP WEEK SCHEDULE (Updated 1/28-changes after this may not be reflected not this schedule.)
Third Grade Spelling Bee
Our Third Grade School Spelling Bee will be held on February 13th at 9:00am. In order to select the students that will represent our class in this event, we will hold a class spelling bee on February 1st. The word list for the class bee will sent home to all students on Tuesday, January 16th.
The first and second place finishers from the class spelling bee will move onto the school final. (Feb. 13th) The third place student will be an alternate for that bee as well. When these students are selected, they will be sent home with an additional word list to study for that contest. This list will be sent home the day of the class spelling bee, after its conclusion.
Please email or text me with any questions! Thank you!

Holiday Gifts
Dear Parents/Guardians-
This year we will celebrate the holiday with stockings. Instead of doing a specific gift exchange- we will be stuffing our stockings! Stockings have already been purchased.
*If you wish for your child to participate, you may send in stocking stuffers on December 18th, 19th, or 20th. We have 23 students in our class. You will need to send enough stocking stuffers so that everyone gets something! Stocking Stuffer Ideas are: pencils, erasers, holiday themed items, candy, gum, fruit snacks, bookmarks, small school supplies like pencil grippers, sticky notes, or highlighters!
Once all stockings are stuffed, we will pack them up and send them home on December 20!
*PLEASE- NO HOMEMADE TREATS.
As I said before, this is optional and does not need to be big and expensive if you wish to join. The kids are always delighted to give a gift to one another, even it it is something very small! Let me know if you have any questions.
