Good Afternoon, Room 36 Families!

We have a big week ahead: Valentine's Day tomorrow, our field trip to King Gillette Ranch on Wednesday, and more rain at the end of the week!

We will have a Valentine exchange tomorrow, but we won't have a "party".  (We will be out of the classroom all day on Wednesday, and I think they will be getting enough sugar as it is!) I will have blank "color and cut" valentines for students, in case they don't have a chance to make/buy any before tomorrow.

In preparation for the field trip on Wednesday, students have been asked to interview a family member.  (Students were given the assignment sheet on Friday.)  They have three brief questions they will need to ask a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, etc.

We have two official chaperones for our Wednesday field trip, and they will be riding on the bus with the students.  If you were interested in chaperoning, but were NOT one of the first two to request, I sent home a note with your child with information about how to get there on your own.

Homework:
- Read 20 minutes (independent reading at Lexile level)
- MyMath: Chapter 8, Lesson 3 (p. 509-510)
- Figurative Language: Similes
- Finish Field Trip Interview assignment if necessary
