*Kids aren't held accountable for centers when they are absent.

Coming home on Tuesday is the information for the spelling bee. I guess some of the rules have changed since I first sent it home last Novemberish. So if your child is interested in joining the spelling bee, please read the new rules so you are aware of the changes. Then start practicing.

Next, we really need the count on how many grandparents are coming to the program. We already started the art portraits. If the kids need to make more, we need to use every available minute to do that. Also, on Thursday we are writing the invitations for the grandparents. The kids need to know how many to write.

During our weather unit, the students will periodically be bringing home homeword-in-a-baggie homework activities. We can't do these at school. They would be destroyed the first time we put them outside. They are such fun activities that I want the kids to have the opportunity to do them. Hands-on is always the best way to learn!

Last, I have found out that we need to have treats for the grandparent program. If you can help with this, let me know. Thank you!
