Good evening!  Here is some news for you:

• Remember, our field trip to the Noah Webster House is tomorrow morning.  Kids have their roles for tomorrow.  They may dress up, but they are NOT required to do so.  Students are asked to bring a bagged lunch and snack to go along with the period food that they’ll prepare themselves.  Please, no glass containers.  Please bring plenty of napkins, kids! 🙂  Cameras are not permitted in the Noah Webster House (their policy) and I very very very strongly discourage kids from bringing iPods, eReaders, and other electronics.  (It’s a short bus ride.)  Thank you to all the parents who have volunteered to chaperone!
• Congratulations to our great readers.  In the two weeks we had the Super Bowl reading rally, Room 209 students read for well over 6,000 minutes!  WOW!  Way to go!
• Several parents have asked about Valentine’s Day cards.  I’m sorry for the late notice.  Yes, students are allowed to bring in cards.  The rule is that they bring in a card for everyone in class or a card for no one in class.  Kids can copy down a class list if you would like them to do so.  (Have them see me.)  We generally have a low-key Valentine’s Day party.  If you would like to send in some treats, we’d love your contribution!  We could use two families to send in some sort of goodies, one family to donate some juice, and two families to send in plates, napkins, forks, cups, etc.  Please email me if you’re interested.  I’ll revise this post when we have our volunteers in place.  We do not need in-class volunteers for this party.  (Thanks, however!)
• Haven’t we had enough snow?!  I’ve turned the snow off on our website. Enough is enough, right?
