Valentine's Day: WE are not having a specific party for Valentine's Day, but some of the kids asked if it would be OK to bring valentines. I gave them class lists and told them they could bring them if they'd like. We will take a little time out of Monday and pass out valentines. This is NOT required.

Reading response: I will no longer be requiring reading response journals from kids who are caught up on required quizzes. If they are caught up, they still need to read their 15 minutes a night, but it is not necessary to sign the logs. I will check every time a quiz is due, and if they fall behind they will have to start taking them home again. The next quiz is due Feb. 15.

Shoot for 100 books: Our February reading incentive deals with sports stars and reading. Every time a child passes and RC quiz they are putting a basketball up on a poster. If we hit 100 by the end of Feb. we will be having a movie in the afternoon. R-E-A-D

Homework for tonight: Read 15, reading response (for some), pb45 for Meyer's class

Tests: Test over Second sister tomorrow
Friday spelling test
Monday vocab test

I will be out of the district at an AEA meeting tomorrow.
