WECOME ASHLEY! WE ARE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU IN OUR CLASS!
It was a great day in room 205! Our new choice hour selections began today! Please ask your child to share their new choice hour selections with you. (This is located in the front of the binder.) At noon, we watched President Obama take the oath of office at the west front of the US Capitol building. We saw him give the inaugural address, Poet Elizabeth Alexander read a poem, and the US Navy Band Sea Chanters perform the national anthem. Ask your child to share with you tonight the Time for Kids magazine that details the first few days of office for the Obama family! What an exciting time for our nation.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD HAS PENCILS IN HIS/HER BINDER!!!
Here’s what we have for you tonight:

We have mail today!

Read to Waikiki! Waikiki ticket is due Monday, January 26th! Late tickets will not count.
Waikiki Reading Details… Your ticket must be signed by a parent to be valid. If we reach our goal, we’ll all enjoy our Waikiki party to celebrate on Friday February 6th.
Here are the official Waikiki rules:
Students can only count reading minutes for reading done at home (after school at 3:15pm or after choice hour at 4:05pm)
The kids are allowed to read extra minutes to help our team however a 3rd or 4th grader will only earn extra points if he or she doubles their reading requirement.
For example: For each additional 100 minutes a third grader reads, he would earn 50 extra miles (points) for his class.
