VALENTINE'S DAY CARDS AND TREATS:
Some parents have inquired about sending in Valentine's Day cards and treats for the class. Please note that you can send in Valentine's Day cards or treats for the children in the class, but there is NO OBLIGATION to send in anything. I ask that if do, please send in a card/treat for all of the children in the class so that no one feels left out. Thank you for your cooperation :) Here is a list of the children in the class.
I will be sending home two letters this week explaining two more activities we will do to celebrate the 100th day of school.
1- Mystery paper bag collection of 100 items:
Please have your child fill the paper bag (it will be sent home with the instruction letter) with 100 items. Your child will present his/her collection of 100 items to the class on Wednesday, February 26th, 2020.
2- Dress like a 100 year old

3- February family project: 100th day of school t-shirt (WE WILL WEAR the t-shirt on WEDNESDAY- FEBRUARY 26TH, 2020)
To celebrate the 100th day, I am asking families to make a t-shirt/long sleeve shirt with 100 of something (fingerprints, foam hearts, feathers, pompoms, pieces of pasta, stickers, etc) for your child to wear. The deadline to send in your child's t-shirt will be the day preceding our 100th day: Monday, February 24th, 2020 (or you may send it into school before). There are many different t-shirt ideas online. I invite you to take a look. Just google "100th day of school t-shirt". THIS ACTIVITY WILL COUNT AS THE FEBRUARY FAMILY PROJECT.
Here is a picture of my class from last year with our 100th day shirts:
