Hi! Just a reminder if you signed up to send in STEAM supplies, they are needed by tomorrow at the latest so that if anything does not come in, we can grab some the night before STEAM day. Thanks!  Here is the sign up if you forget:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XvkfPrjO0s4A8Fo_g6ArrCAuAGBaOPu95TkdxmM_Pcs/edit?usp=sharing Also: we could use paper towels and lysol-type wet wipes for the classroom. Thanks!

Valentine ’s  Day  is approaching! Can you believe it? In a few days, you may be hearing from Ms. Greaney and Ms. Daniel   about a few supplies for a  party , but I want you to know about our card exchange. We will be exchanging  Valentine ’s cards. Students may give out cards, but they must give every other child in the class a card (there are 21 students). Of course children may opt to not bring in  Valentines  for anyone and that is fine. Many children like to make and bring in a special  Valentine ’s box or bag. That is super; please have your child bring that and their  Valentines  to school on February 14th and not in advance. Please note, the town of Littleton has a  Wellness policy in place which includes Shaker Lane and that does mean that candy may not be attached to  valentines . Students may give each other a paper  valentine  and are welcome, if they feel they need to do more than that, (which they certainly do not have to) find something fun to attach like a 

1) Due to the short week, there will be no spelling quiz tomorrow. The quiz on the ee/ea words will be a week from Friday. 2) The class earned a special activity and voted for "toy day" . We will do this tomorrow. Students may bring in one non electronic toy.  Toys could be a stuffed animal, doll, game, action figure... etc. For "collections" like Shopkins which are tiny, student could bring in a small ziploc bag with them. No Pokemon cards, baseball cards, etc. Students will get a special time period to share and play with the toy they bring. Participation is of course option. We have fun things in the classroom students could do/use if they do not want to bring a toy in. 3) Reminder - tomorrow is Patriots Spirit Day 4) Mismatch Day has been moved to next Wednesday 5) I sent out a Google Doc via email. We are in need of supplies for our STEAM challenge day and if you can send anything in, please add your name to the doc. Thanks!

We will have a couple field trips this spring and the school district would like, if possible, for parents to pay for field trips online using their portal. When we do send home field trip information, in the next few months,  you can refer to this post for help. I made a short video walkthrough of the process.
