MONDAY is a dress down day for the GIRLS only, as they were the winners in the Penny Wars Challenge.
WEDNESDAY is DDD Day. $3 to Dress Down, purchase a Donut, and Donate to the American Cancer Society. If you purchased a Linus Conquers Cancer t-shirt, you can dress down without that $1.
THURSDAY is St. Valentine's Day. Students may (but are not required) bring Valentine cards to share if they bring one for everyone. We have 9 boys and 8 girls in our class. Please do not send treats to share. We will celebrate in the later part of our afternoon with some Valentine's Day class activities and card-sharing.

Since there is no school on Friday, Feb. 15, we will have our weekly Reading and Spelling Tests on Thursday.
In Math this week we finish with Chapter 15 learning how to subtract 2-digit numbers with regrouping, and we will likely have our chapter assessment on Wednesday after some review of the 4 steps. In our next chapter, we will continue to practice and apply these new concepts. Keep practicing addition and subtraction facts to help your child move quickly through the steps of higher level subtraction problems. It is so important to have them mastered!
