Rainbow Hearts

We read the book "The OK Book" and reflected on things we were OK at doing. We also talked about if its OK to be OK at something and drew people using the letters O and K. We continued learning and singing new songs, including "Hearts" and "5 little hearts" and had gym as well. We also had centers where some students painted as well. Don't forget to wear Red, White, and/or Pink tomorrow! 

Encourage your child to:
- explain to you what they are OK at doing
- teach you our new poems: "Hearts" and "5 little hearts"
- read the home reading book around (5 minutes)
- read another book of the child's choice for 10-15 minutes

Important Updates:

- There is no school Thursday, Friday, and Monday (February 14, 15, and 18) for all students. 

-  Thank you to those who are bringing back colored folders on a regular basis and exchanging home reading books. We are still working with students to get them in the habit of putting the folders in the bins at the beginning of school. Please help us by reminding students at home to take their folders out so they can get a new home reading book. We are not sending home reading books without folders and students must return their book in order to get a new one. 

- Boxes of Greeting Cards were sent home yesterday with a form for selling them to family and friends. If you do NOT wish to participate, please send the box with all cards back to school with your child. Thank you. 

- Please send signed report card envelopes with your child by Monday. Please do not seal the envelope as we will be using the same envelopes again.

- Our annual Winter Sports Day will be tomorrow Wednesday, February 13.  The day has been rebranded Winter Global School Play Day.  It will take place from 12:15-2:30 PM.
