Our day was filled with warmth and sunshine!! While in Waikiki, we had the greatest time hanging out and playing with our friends.

We appreciate all of the parents who came and cheered us on today. Also, A BIG thank you to those wonderful parents who helped plan and organize such a fun event…Mrs. Sarkesian, Mrs. Mollison, Mrs. Richter and Mrs. Dietz ran the limbo station for our class! Thanks ladies!


Valentine’s Day Community Service:
The 3/4 theme for this year is "valuing each other". As a community service project, the 3/4 students are collecting and donating any gently used books to a school in great need. We will be collecting these in the classroom from now until the Valentine's Day Party. These books will be donated to a needy school in Detroit. If you have any books for this effort, please send them to school with your child! Thank you! Please do not feel obligated, this is strictly voluntary.

Happy 9th Birthday Emma on Sunday!

Please ask your child if they are in need!

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD HAS PENCILS IN HIS/HER BINDER!!!

3rd Grade Spanish:
We are working on a family unit—La familia. I am hoping that parents can email me family pictures for the students to use in a Power Point presentation. I prefer jpeg or bmp files—nothing in a Microsoft word document, please. Students are going to write about five family members including themselves—very simple, as in: ésta es mi mamá. Se llama Joan. (This is my mother. Her name is Joan.) Pets are allowed. They may include grandparents, cousins, etc., but they must include all siblings. My email is kw11bps@birmingham.k12.mi.us Kalyn Wulatin

Reminders:
Remember to write the title of the book you are reading in the ‘Keep Track’ section of your planner…did you do it?

Tuesday and Friday we will be in the GYM. You will need your GYM attire!

Did you take your planner and pen to a parent and ask them to initial it?
