This week we learned about words having bossy ur in them, worked on writing non-fiction, understanding non-fiction text features, verb tenses, reviewed adjectives, and place value.

Our morning class is collecting BOX TOPS and competing for a school prize. Please send them in.

Butter Braid forms are being sent home in Friday Folders.

  • Order forms with money will be due to PM teachers on February 19.

  • Butter Braids will be delivered to school on February 26th and pickup must be arranged by the families. Butter Braids come frozen and we cannot store them beyond the delivery day.

Candygram This is being organized by Mrs. Conder's 5/6th grade class to fundraise towards the Outdoor Ed trip. Order forms will be due in Mrs. Conder's box by Feb 10th. Delivery will be Feb 13th. This is a cash-only fundraiser.

Scholastic I made a mistake in my announcement yesterday.  Due to the weather flyers will go home next Friday and book orders will be due February 21st.

Classroom Auction Basket Our class is collecting items for a Lego basket.  If you have any questions please contact PIC or Laura Widhalm. These donations do count towards volunteer hours with a receipt and can be a tax write off.

Our morning class has started practicing for International Day on February 28th.  If you are available to help and need volunteer hours, please let me know and in what capacity.  It is really helpful to have someone to assist me on the day of the presentation.

There will be an opportunity for families to shop with China Sprouts in February! This time inventory will be available for purchase and families can take home books immediately. We will have set-up on the afternoon of Thursday, February 27 and on Friday, February 28 in conjunction with International Day. More information will be shared closer to the date.

Thanks,

Ms. Folkestad
