Valentine’s Party 2/14 1:00-2:00
Students have the option of participating in a Valentine box decorating contest as part of the Valentine’s Party. These boxes will be used to hold the Valentines. Students can make a box at home, bring it on Feb. 14th, and enter the contest for prizes.
The categories are:
Most Creative Box Silliest Box
Best Animal Box Most Unique Box
The boxes will need to come to school on Monday morning, 2/14, and go home that afternoon, so please bring the box in a bag with handles. If students choose to make Valentines, they must make one for each student in the class. A class list is available on the reverse side of this newsletter.
Science/Social Studies
In science, we've been planting terrariums, sealing them, and then watching and recording growth and changes.
