<p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #800080">Parents!  The filmstrips look excellent!  Whenever you are in school, do not forget to take a look at our hallway display for Black History Month!  Also take a look at our Haiti bulletin board.  Students wrote from the heart to the children of Haiti.   The words and feelings they have are amazing!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center"><span style="color: #ff0000">**We will have a Valentine’s Day/Chinese New Year party on Wednesday.  This will be a very small party because we have Gym right before and I know students will not be happy if I cut their Gym time.  Below is a list of students’ names so that you can prepare Valentine’s Day cards if you choose.  Please remember that EVERYONE needs to receive one if you choose to do cards.  Because time is limited on Wednesday, I will provide the cupcakes for the party, but if you would like to contribute, please let me know (Students are omitted from the list if they do not celebrate the holiday).**</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong>Instruction for the Week</strong></p>


<strong><span style="color: #ff6600">Literacy:</span></strong>

<span style="color: #ff6600">We have 3 weeks until the ISAT!   For the rest of this month, students will be working on ISAT questions to get ready.  You will receive more homework for this month, but please keep in mine that this is only to prepare them.  Once ISAT starts, students will not receive as much homework.  I apologize for this inconvenience.  Students are learning about story element, inferences, and writing extended-responses this week.</span>

<strong><span style="color: #ff6600">Mathematics:</span></strong>

<span style="color: #ff6600">In Math, we will focus on drawing angles, quadrangles, and polygons.  Students will create memory games to help learn the different figures.</span>

<span style="color: #008000">Science and Social Studies will not be taught this week because of the shortened week.</span>

<em><strong>Please feel free to email me any time you have questions or concerns.</strong></em>
