Empty container/box:  Students, don't forget to bring a container in on Monday to create your product for our Advertising and Propaganda study with adverbs and adjectives!

Grandparents Day:  Your child's grandparent or special friend is invited to join us for a special Grandparents Day on March 14.  Watch for information to come home, especially the permission slip to send your child home with a different driver that day.

Thrive Parent meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 26 - 8:00 p.m.  We've had such a great response from parents that we will most likely hold our meeting in the church - I'll let you know.


Social Studies:

This week in Social Studies, we visited 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders to show off our country "lapbook" projects.  Students picked a country that participated in the Olympics to research and showcase facts in a variety of creative ways.  I was very impressed with the interaction of the 6th graders with the younger students, asking questions and getting them involved with learning.  What a fun week!
