Friday marked the end of the 2nd Quarter. That means we are half done with school! Report cards will be sent home on Thursday. Conferences are scheduled for Feb. 3rd. Be watching for more information about conferences. Grades this quarter are based on each student’s individual performance. Please call me if you have any questions about report cards!

This week we are studying the /er/ sound-spelled ir, ur, er. Please visit www.spellingcity.com for the list and fun practice games.

We are collecting dollars for Derrick-one of our kindergarten students-who was diagnosed with a brain tumor and remains in the hospital. He’s a very sick little boy and every dollar will help this family in need!

We’ll be making penguins in art this week. For Social Studies, we will be learning about Martin Luther King, Jr. and this special holiday.

Have a great week!
