Dear Families-

This week is Love of Reading week! We will have fun reading related activities all week long. This morning we had a policeman come read to our class. On Friday, your child can dress up like their favorite character from a book. Your child needs to be able to tell me what book their character is from.

Wednesday is dollar dress down day. If your child pays a dollar they can dress down. 

Please make sure that if your child is wearing something under their uniform that it is school colors(red, white or navy blue).

We will be having a Valentine’s Day celebration in our class on Valentine’s Day. I know that a lot of children like to bring in Valentine’s Day cards for their friends. If your child would like to bring in cards please make sure they bring in a card for everyone in the class. We have 30 children in our class. I have attached a class list so they can address their cards. Please have them write the cards themselves. It is great writing practice.

I am sending home book orders today. If you would like to order please send the order form and cash or a check made out to Scholastic Books Clubs in by Tuesday, February 19^th. 

If your child needs extra spelling practice and you have the internet have your child check out spellingcity.com. I have been putting the spelling words up there and a lot of children have told me they really like using it to practice spelling.

As always, if you have any questions please let me know! You can e-mail me at jcochran@lpatucson.org or stick a note in your child’s folder.
