      We are finishing off our measurement unit shortly and beginning to work on telling time.  Please work on this at home in authentic situations.  Talking about what time you eat dinner, leave for school in the morning, etc. helps a child get a feeling for telling time.  Ask them to read the clock for you during daily situations as well. 

    Author, Julia Cook, will be visiting our students Monday, Feb. 2.  She will be here in the evening at 6:00pm also if you would like to attend with your family.

    Our snack cabinet is low.  If you are able, the class would enjoy some healthy snacks to share.  Crackers, cereal, etc. are great.  Thanks!

    We are off to a great start in measurement!  Your child brought home a paper ruler.  I printed another on the back of this newsletter.  Please keep it handy for homework assignments in case you don't have a ruler at home.

    We are working on writing friendly letters.  If you haven't sent back the paper with the name and address of the family member your child would like to write to, please return it by Monday.

      With the two school cancellations we have had, Wawasee Community School Corporation will now be in session on Monday, January 26 and Monday, February 23.
