VOLUNTEER OR VISITOR???
Please take time to fill out the volunteer paperwork if you would like to be involved in helping our class in any way!
If you intend to help with Cruise Write Along, or do any activity where you will be with someone else's children, you MUST be cleared by the office as a VOLUNTEER, not as a visitor.  I would hate to ask any of you to leave our classroom because you have not gotten the appropriate pass from the office.  

CRUISE WRITE ALONG EDITOR TRAINING:  Monday, February 8th from 3:00-3:30.
If you plan to help, please ensure that you are cleared as a VOLUNTEER through the office!  It has come to my attention that some parents have NOT done that yet!


CRUISE DECORATING SESSION!
After our Valentine's party on Friday, the 12th, once the children are dismissed, we'll be decorating for our fun-filled week of writing!  If you could help decorate, it would be wonderful! Many hands make light work!! (a truism!)  Hope you can join us!


DONATIONS???
Our class needs some inflatables for our Cruise in a couple of weeks.  I will take 'loaners' but I can't guarantee their safe return. Kids with pencils doesn't always work out well...If you have some pool floats to donate, we'd LOVE to have them!!


STUDENTS NEED A VALENTINE'S BOX!  Please help your child put together a box to hold Valentine's.  Bring your boxes on the 12th!!



Six Flags 6-Hour Reading Club
The Six Flags Reading Log will replace our class reading log until February 23, 2010.  Every student who completes six hours of recreational reading between Tuesday, Jan. 26th and Tuesday, Feb. 23rd will receive a free admission ticket to Six Flags Fiesta Texas!  Please encourage your child to record their reading and sign the green reading log located in their homework folder.  Hopefully our class will have 100% participation. A completed log is worth 5 tickets as well!!

From the Counselor...

Hi there Comets!  Congratulations to students who received an "Trustworthy" sticker during the month of January! February is known as the month of love, so why not spread love and kindness to your friends??  
During the month of January, our character trait is FRIENDSHIP.
This month, we'll be looking for good examples of friendship.  If you help a friend in need or if your teacher catches you treating friends in class with respect, kindness, and empathy then you may receive a "friendship" sticker to wear all day telling everyone you exhibited our character trait of the month!  Good Luck Comets and remember....CHARACTER COUNTS AT CANYON CREEK!!



Enjoying your children,
Mrs. Romanski
