Announcements

Progress Reports went home today. Please encourage your student to correct 
their behaviors and they will bring home a better report in the next 
reportcard. They are responsible for their own actions.

The Valentine Party letter went home today. There is a list of all our names 
on the reverse side. Please use this to complete your child's Valentines. 


Please encourage your student to try and read everything they see - 
environmental print --sound out the letters and see how close they get to the 
actual words!
Also, we will begin stressing writing letters on the lines and appropriate 
proportions.

Our class routines will be changing too...we are learning, learning, learning 
to READ!

PLEASE NOTE:  OUR LUNCH TIME is 12:00.

Parents and relatives are welcomed to come visit and/or eat with us anytime. 
Just send me a note in the morning stating your intentions. Just know that we 
can be loud and busy at Lunch time!!!

Students will no longer be allowed to bring and/or wear SILLY BANDS to 
school. Please help us abide by these rules by NOT ALLOWING your child to 
wear theirs to our school. 

PARENTS OF LUNCHBOXERS:  You might want to consider sending a paper plate 
(folded up) in the lunchboxes, so the student can have somewhere "clean" to 
place their food. The plate may also make it easier for clean up and carrying 
trash to the can. Thanks!

Ice Cream is on Fridays unless we are having an Early Dismissal. There may be
other times that Ice Cream is not allowed to certain students that have not
controlled themselves with their behavior and attentiveness. Their ice cream
money will be saved until another time with improved behavior.

Library books need to be returned NO LATER than Thursday when we go to 
Library for the week.

Students need to bring their Bookbags everyday and 
Parents need to check them daily.

Please wear Tennis Shoes for P.E..

FITNESS CALENDARS need to be turned in at the end of the month with checked 
off days of participation and a parent signature to be eligible for the 
monthly drawing.

The Dress Code is located under Student Conduct - Section 10 Number 4 (page 
42) in the Handbook. Girls are not allowed to wear spaghetti strap tops. They 
can wear them with a t-shirt under it! Bus Rules are on Page 24 and 
Attendance is on Page 37.

Girls may be more comfortable wearing shorts under their dresses for sitting 
on the floor and playing outside.

Parents can order from Scholastic Book Club online at 
www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs. On the parent page, click the "Don't have a 
User Name and Password?" link, then register for your own username and 
password. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code: GKBMT.  
this code ensures that your order is sent to the teacher - Mrs. McDaniel.
