ALLERGY REMINDER Just a quick reminder that we are a NUT FREE ZONE. All tree nuts and peanuts, including peanut butter, are not part of our snacks, cooking projects, or party fare. Please remember when bringing treats for birthdays and holidays that nuts and nut butters of all kinds are not to be included. We want to keep our students safe and healthy. Thank you for your concern and understanding! Last Week Thank you to all the parents who brought in food and treats for our Valentine party last week. Thanks, also, to the parents who came to help set-up and stayed to clean up. The kids had a blast having a dance party, doing our heart name chains (they are in the classroom windows - come on in and see them!), as well as talking about love - what is love, who and what we love, etc.

This Week This week, we are going to have a lot of fun doing all different kinds of art projects. We will be playing with watercolors, shaving cream, kool aid paint, spaghetti, and crayons, just to start. Please make sure to send your child in clothes that can get messy and dirty! Thanks! Word Wall - Letter Q This week we will be focusing on the letter Q for queen, quilt, and quick. Please help your child find something that begins with the letter Q if they would like to bring in something for sharing. Thanks! Upcoming Events Mark your calendars for our pancake breakfast and art show on March 21st. Also, we are having our school auction at Big Al's on April 18. More info on both events to follow in upcoming newsletters.
