Right now we are sitting at 11 missed days with more bad weather to come in the near future! Luckily we are currently able to utilize 8 calamity days, with a possibility of more if the legislation decides to add up to possibly 4 more days. If that is the case, hopefully we will not have to make up too many days at the end of the year.
Due to the amount of days missed, we really have not moved much in terms of where we are in each subject. However, we do have a lot of tests coming up. Our next day of school we will have a Science test on Electricity, followed by a Social Studies test on the 13 colonies the next day. The English test on verbs will then be right behind the Social Studies test by a day or two.
We also have Parent-Teacher conferences this week on Thursday, February 6, and then on Monday, February 10. We will keep you updated on conference scheduling if school is cancelled.
The annual Snowball Box Top competition is in full swing at school. For every 10 box tops your child brings in, they can get a "snowball" to throw at another classroom's door. The classrooms with the least amount of snowballs on their door win a classroom party. The kids really get into this, so cut up those boxes and bring them on in! It is all for a good cause.
*On that note, please make sure to cut out the Box Tops right on the dotted line. If anything, just make the kids do it! It will save our office ladies an awful lot of energy and time. Thank you!
Although it may not seem like it, we are already halfway through the third quarter. Please make sure your child is keeping up with their work and studying for their tests, as we definitely will not have as many grades to put into the books this quarter.
Please be safe out on the roads! Hopefully we will get back to school on a more consistent schedule soon!
Mrs. Perkins
