Here are a few tidbits about the week:
Lost and Found -- A wonderful volunteer, Tiffany, spent several hours today moving the lost and found to the front hall, where it will stay for less than two weeks before being donated to charity. Tiffany took the time to track down all coats with names in them -- she reunited two coats with their Room 2 owners -- but there are still tons of unclaimed coats and miscellany . Please be sure to check the front hall for your child's missing clothes, and don't forget to put your child's name in her coat -- today was proof positive that it pays off.
Dr. Seuss -- Wednesday is Dr. Seuss' birthday. We will be doing a variety of activities to celebrate his life and work.
Library Books -- I would love to see fewer kids miss library checkouts. I always encourage kids to put library books in their backpacks on Sunday so that they are at school on Monday. This year seems to be a challenging one for getting books back by library day.
Health Screening -- This Thursday is health screening day. If this is the same as in years past, we should be checking vision, hearing and dental health.
Story Problems -- We will be creating story problems tomorrow morning. This is always a super fun math day, and kicks off our learning about addition and subtraction.
Leap Day -- We spent some time talking about Leap Day, why we have years, and orbital dynamics this morning (complete with a demonstration). See if your child can tell you anything coherent about these subjects!!
