Happy Groundhog Day!

I think I am starting to thaw a little bit. This week our ten spelling words are: this, that, while, wheat, whip, whistle, whiskers, whatever, aunt and uncle. We have five pages of homework and I want to say how pleased I am to see the boys and girls going back and doing their corrections from the previous week. A few things to note: Our Valentine's Day party will be held on Feb. 11th, there is a list of classmate's names on the back of the information sheet that went home today."Day 100" projects are due on Feb. 12th, there is no school for students on Feb. 13th as teachers are going to St. Stephen for inservicing and "Speeches" need to be ready for Feb. 16th. We will be starting in the classroom on the 16th, with grade level trials on the 23rd and finals on the 25th. Book orders will be going home this week and... please check your child's head as, well, you know. Please listen to your child read and let him/her count the change in your pocket. You will be surprised at what these children can do. Have a great week and "keep your stick on the ice". M. Cronk
