Week of February 14-18




Odds and Ends:
Valentines Day: We encourage all students to bring in a valentine for each student in the class. We have 23 students. Please do not have candy/tattoos with the valentine. Also, please have your child sign the valentine cards, but do not write any other name on the card.(It will be quicker when passing out)
If you are interested in Six Flags tickets please keep reading and get you sheet in by February 17th.
A letter was emailed to families asking that you send in a letter of encouragement for your child during IAST week. The letter can be sealed in a white envelope and addressed to Miss Millbrandt. I will distribute the letters when ISAT's begin.
Our In-school field trip on Matter is February 14th we can't wait!
