It’s an exciting week in first grade!  100 days and Valentines Day!  It also looks like more snow is on the way… Tonight: Culvers night is from 5-8 tonight.  I will be serving from 5-6 and then eating afterward.  I hope to see you there!  Today's trip!  We had a blast today at Badger Sports Park.  Check out a few pictures! Valentines Day:  For the Valentines Party students can make their valentine mailbox at home. If you could clearly print their name on it, that would be helpful so students can find it and put their valentine in there. You do not have to make the mailbox at home, we will have bags that they will have time to decorate the day of. If you plan to bring a treat for our party please send me an email/note so that I am aware.  Thank you to those who have already let me know!
