Reminders

Morning Routine BEFORE School

When students arrive to Westwoods in the morning, grades 1-5 (weather permitting) will go straight to the playground.  There is a sign on the front window viewable to the students as a reminder of whether they will be inside or outside, if they are unsure.  You are more than welcome to wait with your students in the lobby until the bell rings. The bell to go to your locker is at 8:45 and school begins at 8:50. Thank you!

Spelling

New words did come home last Friday for the week, along with last weeks test. 

Test on new words will be on Friday, February 13th. 

Library

Students are back to having the option of checking one book out for the classroom and one book out for home. However, I did still leave it up to them if they wanted to check out both books for the classroom. Most students chose to leave their books here at school for readers and writers workshop. 

Students will also be keeping these books for two weeks due to the Scholastic Book Fair next week. They will be able to shop the book fair, but unable to get to the shelves of the library. 

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns about library. Thank you!

Parent/Teacher Conferences

I have the schedule for dates and times of who signed up for parent/teacher conferences. I will not be sending reminders out. If you need a refresher of when your time and date is please let me know. I am looking forward to seeing you all next week, or the week after!

Homework Packet

New homework packets are coming home today! Instead of addition mad minutes the students now have subtraction mad minutes. This helps their fluency for subtracting!

Please remind students to keep practicing their spelling words for the test on Friday. 

All word ladders and extra math pages are due on Friday. 

Carnival Basket

All donations for our GARDENING basket are due by Friday. February 13th. 

Thank you for your support!

Timeline Project

Project descriptions went home on Friday and are also posted on the blog here. These projects are due on Monday, February 16th. However, students are welcome to turn in their projects early if they are done and ready. Please let me know if you have any further questions. 

Valentine Celebration

Popcorn & PJ Day! Students can wear school appropriate pajamas to school for the day, along with a pair of slippers. 

Our celebration for Valentines Day will be Friday afternoon from 1:40-2:25. All details are posted on the blog along with the a class list if you need an additional copy. Students are welcome to bring in their Valentine box and cards at anytime this week.
