Tricky Tray!

It's that time of the year again-to put together our class basket for the annual (& fabulous) PTA Tricky Tray!

The PTA does so many wonderful things for our school, so it is nice to help them-which really helps us all out!

A letter from our class coordinator was sent home a few weeks ago, but I know so many things come up so I just wanted to reiterate.

Our class basket theme for this year is: RELAX AND REGROUP WITH A SPA DAY-so anything that has to do with relaxation would be greatly appreciated.
Some ideas for a "spa" basket would be: scented candles/oils; hand/foot scrubs/lotions/gloves; slippers; robe; eye-wraps; body washes; bath salts, beads; gift cards to spas/salons/nail salons (SpaFinder gift cards are at supermarkets & drugstores!); spa music;

facial masks----THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS! You may even send in a monetary donation so that our kind volunteer can shop for you!

Everyone loves a spa day, so let's try to make this basket a success for the PTA and our classroom. You may even be lucky to win it!

Hurricanes & Tornadoes!

In Science, We are beginning to discuss and learn about Hurricanes and Tornadoes. To assist your child at home, please check out the Sky Diary link for kids that is posted above. The site offers a great deal of information that all kids would love to explore!

Science Cloud Project is due on Friday, February 25!

Please be sure that everyone is tracking the clouds on a daily basis and recording their findings on their mini-poster! Thank you!

It seems as if we have finally made it through a FULL week! Woohoo!

Some fun Math news:
*On Fridays, we will have a (very) short quiz on a topic that was worked on during the week, which will be ensuring the class is ready to proceed on the next lessons.
*Also, we will be attacking our Fast Facts on a DAILY basis. In order to ensure the students are attaining the speed and accuracy that they need with their basic facts, this 3 minute drill has become a part of our morning routine.
