Spelling:  Your child’s list of new words is stapled to this letter.
Math:  Thanks so much for helping your child with his/her nightly home link.  I am pleased with how well the students have gotten in the habit of doing the home link and returning it every day.   This week we will be studying 2-dimensional shapes and 3-dimensional objects.
Bookbags:  Please make sure your child turns in his January bookbag and calendar.
Jump Rope For Heart:  This will be in the morning on February 10.
Valentine Exchange:  On February 14 we will have a Valentine exchange in our classroom.  I am asking that the boys and girls bring in a Valentine for every member of our class.  The Valentinefs may be homemade or purchased.   Here is a list of the children in our class:
