This Week’s Homework:

In lieu of the regular weekly homework for the weeks of 2/3 and 2/10, I would like you to help your child create a mailbox for Valentine’s Day (Friday, February 14^th).  Please turn it in on or before Friday, February 14^th.  Pinterest, as always, has some amazing ideas:
                       
 

Also, if you plan on helping your child make Valentine’s Day cards for his or her classmates (making cards is optional), please be sure to include all of the students in our class.  We will exchange cards on Friday afternoon (2/14) as part of our Valentine’s Day celebration.  I will put a class list in your child's folder on Monday, 2/3.
