Wee Deliver started this week. Students have been writing letters to friends and siblings in other classrooms that are delivered by the third graders. Students may write letters at home to bring in. The return address should have your child’s name and address (115 Aquarium Dr., Burlington, MA 01803). It should be addressed to the student they are writing to. If you don’t know the address it is going to, just write down the room number and we can help your child fill out the rest. A sticker works in place of a stamp. Wee Deliver will continue until Valentine’s Day. You are also welcome to write letters to your children.
Students finished writing letters to me trying to persuade me to get a certain class pet. I will have to check the availability of the animals from the Burlington Science Center after vacation but I was impressed with all the hard work that went into the letters. They made some pretty good points!
We also learned a little about penguins this week! The students decorated one of our bulletin boards with a special penguin project and facts they learned about it.
We will celebrate our 100th day of school on Friday, February 17th unless we have another snow day between now and then. In preparation for that day, we ask that all the children make a collection of 100 small objects (pennies, toothpicks, crayons, etc.) that can fit into a baggie. No food items, please. Please have your child count out the 100 objects and label the bag with his/her name. They should start bringing in their collections when they are complete. All collections should be in by Friday, February 17th.
The Friday before vacation will also be a whole-school Pajama Day! That was the reward for our students showing outstanding effort at school!
We will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Tuesday, February 14th. We will be opening valentines that afternoon and eating a special snack (sent from home). Students can bring two snacks to school that day…one for the morning and one for the afternoon. Students made envelops this week that they will use to put their valentines in. Students can bring in their valentines for their classmates on either Monday or Tuesday. Please be sure not to attach any food items.
Have a great weekend! Enjoy all the snow!
