Dear Families,

We are in the second week of our Community Helpers unit.  This week we will be celebrating Valentines Day by making valentines, working on our math skills with valentines candy, and exchanging valentines during our party on Wednesday, 2/14.  You are welcome to send in valentines any time between now and Wednesday (we will hold them until our party).  You are not required to send anything in, however if you do we ask that there are no food or candy and that there is enough valentines for each student in your child's class.  We will finish up our week with more of our Community Helpers activities.  Here is what we will be reading this week.
