Thank you to both Eliana and Jules’ families for donating to our Donors Choose project.  We have until February 27^th to get $475 in donations.  Please help spread the word, as no donation is too small.

Important events happening in room 112:

Valentine’s Day: We will be exchanging valentines with our classmates.  Please send in 19 valentines with only your child name, this makes for easier distribution.  If you are unable to get valentines please let me know ASAP.  You may send them in anytime you have them ready. Just make sure they are in a bag labeled with your child’s name.

100^th Day: We will be celebrating the 100^th day soon. Be looking for instructions on 100^th day collections in the coming week.  As part of our celebration we will be making a 100^th day snack and making Fruit Loop necklaces.
