provide booster seat (required by law if a child is under age 7)

let your child know who will be transporting them and picking them up at the museum.

VALENTINE’S 

There is lots of lovely excitement building up about Valentine’s Day!

As requested by several first grade families:  no candy please. Please do not include any candy in your Valentines. However, feel free to send other treats (fruit, raisins, yogurt, cupcakes, ice cream etc.).  There are 19 first graders in class. Also, please consider including a Valentine for Miss Wally and Miss Susan. They pour their heart and soul into caring for the children every day.

And a handy class list for those precious Valentines...

Please ask your child what s/he needs at school: 
extra clothes?
slippers/indoor shoes?
headphones?
water bottle?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Happy February!

VALENTINE’S PREVIEW

There is lots of lovely excitement building up about Valentine’s Day!

I only have one guideline about Valentines:  no candy please, as requested by several first grade families. Please do not include any candy in your Valentines. However, feel free to send other treats (fruit, raisins, yogurt, cupcakes, ice cream etc.).  Thank you for your support!

Any Valentine trimmings (fabric, paper, lace, ric-rac, doilies, etc.) you send will be  used  in the creation of our Valentine Kindness Boxes.

Please consider including a Valentine for Miss Wally and Miss Susan. They pour their heart and soul into caring for the children every day.

Thank you to third graders presenting about
awesome TISA behavior!


Eli, excited to tell us about his Disney Cruise!

Ring in the New Year!

We are ringing in the New Year with ambitious dreams (such as reading without sounding out), starry-eyed wishes (such as getting a cheetah), mindfulness activities (breathing in the full moon), fun learning challenges (chop and draw a sentence) and addictive crafts (finger-knitting).


Stuffies assisting with mindfulness

Finger-knitting taking off in first grade. Once this passion sparks, it never ends!
