February 1-5

Just like that, January is already in our rearview mirrors.  Time sure does fly by fast.

This next week, the students will start a new chapter in English and learn about indirect objects.  In science class, the students will be taking the chapter 8 test on Thursday.  In addition to the science test, we will have the usual spelling test on Friday.

Next week I will be sending home Scholastic Book Orders.  If you choose to buy books, you can do so online or by returning your order to school by Friday, February 5, with either exact cash or a check made out to “Susan Van Houten.”

On Monday, your child will be coming home with details about the Read-A-Thon that will be taking place during February.  Money raised through this fundraiser will go towards library improvements and new books!

Here are some important dates for your calendar.
