Happy Valentine's Day!

Dear Parents!

Things are really hopping around our class! We are learning all about frog life cycles and we have 4 new classmates.... tadpoles! The kids are busy scientists as they observe the tadpoles change every few days!

Tomorrow (Valentine's Day) the kids can wear a pink, red or white shirt with a Valentine's Day logo if they wish and regular school pants. We will be exchanging Valentine's Day cards in the afternoon. Please make sure that you have a card for everyone in class... so there are no hurt feelings. I sent home a list of all the kids names on Friday with your student. We have 28 kids in class. We will also be having a small party after the card exchange if you would like to send in something yummy for the kids to share.
