The Math Challenge will continue through the month of February. We will continue to send home math problems for kids to work on if they wish to participate in completing problems for the class totals. They can also collect pledges if they would like to participate in the fundraiser portion of the math challenge.Please let me know if you have any questions on this activity.

You may have noticed a "T-shirt order form" in your child's Friday Folder. The kinder classes will be designing and making a classroom memorabilia t-shirt. Each student will create a self portrait and they will be screen printed on a shirt. If you would like to order the shirt, please return the order form by Friday, Feb. 23rd.

This week we will celebrate our 100th day in school! The kids are excited to celebrate being 100 days smarter! WE will be having a classroom celebration Thursday morning from 10-11 am. Information went home about bringing in a collection of 100 things last week. Each child was given a water bottle and label. Please have your child bring theirs in by Thursday morning. We will be visiting other classes to share our collections.

In case you missed it, the bottles are to be filled with 100 of something. 

(Labels with their names on it were also attached to the instructions.)

The math challenge is in full swing and kids can work on math problems and collecting pledges throughout the month of February. Packets of math problems (on blue paper) went home last week. This is not required "homework". If they want to participate in the challenge, they can complete the problems and turn them back in for credit.
