Happy Friday!

We’ve been busy this week, we’ve been working on our math operation skills, reading about all the fascinating facts about Antarctica and glaciers, learning about interjections, subtracting fractions, and writing reflections on our work. Next Friday, the 13^th, we will be having our Valentine’s Day celebration. We have 23 students in our classroom now and a class list is going home today. If your child would like to bring in a small box (tissue and shoe boxes work really well) to decorate and collect valentines in that would be great. J

Thank you to everyone who has sent in the confirmations for parent teacher conferences! If you haven’t had time yet, please feel free to just send me an email at atkinson_ashleigh@asdk12.org and let me know if you can make it or need to reschedule. Just a reminder that both of those days are half days and dismissal will be 12:30 for both Wednesday, February 18, and Thursday, February 19^th.

On February 26^th, we will be going to see a puppet show telling the history of Anchorage in celebration of Anchorage’s Centennial at West High School. This is a free field trip and we will be taking a bus to West. We will leave at 9:15 and return around 11:30. Look for the permission form coming home today. 

There is finally enough snow to do cross-country skiing during gym! We will be skiing on Tuesday, February 10^th, February 24^th, and March 3^rd from 10:45 to 11:45am. Please make sure your child has all their winter gear on those days! Thanks!
