Classroom Chatter
Monday we will make up the inschool field trip, Matter Matters. It was canceled due to our snow day.

Monday, students will have an opportunity to pass out Valentine's to the class. We have 26 students. Students should just sign their own name. They do not need to put students' names on Valentines. Please do not send in any candy for your child to pass out. Thanks. We also will have our party in the afternoon!

Spring Conferences are going to be held the week of 2/28. Information about them will come home today, 2/11/11.
