         Thank you for your continued help and support at home.  I appreciate you doing homework, reading and providing many other learning experiences for your child! 
         We are looking forward to our Valentines party on Friday, February 13th.  The students can bring Valentines to their classmates any time before then.  Our morning class has 19 students and the afternoon has 15. To avoid confusion, please do not have your child put individual classmates names on the Valentines, just have them sign their own name on the back of the Valentine or on the envelope.  It simplifies the “passing out” process so much!  THANK YOU!
         Have a wonderful week!  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  I sure enjoy teaching your kids!
