Dear Families, Can you believe it's almost February? We have so much to celebrate in February- Black History Month, the 100th Day of School, Valentine's Day, Presidents' Day and THREE student birthdays! Of course our field trip to Fernbank is Wednesday. Please be sure your child wears their blue Wardlaw shirt (maybe over a long sleeve t-shirt or sweatshirt for warmth?) Mid-Year Check-in Zoom Call I would like to offer a quick check-in Zoom call before Spring Break. If you would like to touch base with me about your first grader, please use the link below to sign up for a 15 minute time slot. The check-in call is not mandatory, but I wanted to offer time to touch base with each of you if you have any questions, comments or concerns. If you feel like all is well with your kiddo and don't really have questions/comments, no problem! If you'd rather email me your questions and converse over email... that's great too! Whatever works for you! Sign Up Genius for Quick Check In Zoom Call This is the Zoom link we'll use (I'll send out again closer to our call): Heather Borowski's Personal Meeting Room https://us05web.zoom.us/j/3837603193?pwd=aE9WUjlYdUwxcjhiaEZMaTYxWTFaQT09 100th Day We will celebrate the 100th Day of School on Monday, February 5. Please remember to send in 100 of the same items for your child to trade. (Some students have already started bringing in their 100 items in a gallon ziploc- super!) I bought 100 little finger flashlights to trade- I think the kids are going to love them. And a little teacher trick... flashlights are fun to use for tracking when reading! Also, thank you to everyone who signed up to send it items for our 100th Day Trail Mix! Looks like we have almost every ingredient covered-- THANK YOU! Click here for 100th Day Trail Mix Puffball the Penguin Please be looking for Puffball to come home again in the next few weeks.... so far, he (she?) has visited with 8 of our 10 First Grade Friends. Thank you so much for all you do to capture Puffball's adventures in our "Class Pet" journal. I wish I could trade places with Puffball- he has had terrific adventures to dinners and birthday parties, enjoyed playdates, sports, BINGO, movies and read alouds, has been skiing in Park City, UT and so much more-- what a lucky penguin! Be sure to include reading and writing in the journal with your child as part of Puffball's visit to your home. And please feel free to throw him into the laundry-- penguins are really good at holding their breath underwater..... PS- huge thanks to the family members who became Puffball's surgeons and saved the day! I heard about two instances... Bebe's mom and Alice's grandmother both have sewn Puffball back together when his seam split!
