 From the class bloggers, Emma and Lisabetta

This week we acted out the ending part of our play The Phantom TollBooth for literature.

 Tuesday we started brainstorming ideas for our religion play and Thursday we started 

writing the script. We are writing letters to send to other Lutheran schools around the country. 

We had a little excitement this week with the Moscow vs Kayla war. (it’s recess fun) We 

started a new writing project for English realistic fiction: make up a story that could happen

 in real life. We are getting ready for the start of Lutheran Schools Week the dress days

 are,

• Monday : Pajama Day (Bring a stuffed animal or pillow and wear slippers but bring a 

  change of shoes.)

  a variety.)

• Wednesday : Fandom Day (Wear a t-shirt or a hat to show your favorite sports team or 

  sport, movie, or book.)

Valentine's Day

We will celebrate Valentine's Day with a class party on Thursday, Feb. 11.  Note, that is a 4 day weekend due to a teacher's workshop on Friday and Presidents' Day on Monday.  Room parents are providing treats.  At this age, bringing Valentines is OPTIONAL but if your child wishes to, please bring one for each student in our homeroom. Also note, according to school policies, students may not bring in candy to pass out and personal gift exchanges may not happen on campus (as noted in the Family Handbook).
