First I would like to thank everyone for the thoughtful cards and gifts I received on Friday. A big thank you to Mrs. Ogean who was the lunch mom for the class while I enjoyed my hour luncheon! She was very kind and helped the class create a poster for me! I have it hanging on my door, it's very cute :)
We have very exciting news in our room!! Isabella is now a big sister to not one, but two babies :) Bella's mom had her twins this Sunday morning ~ Samantha and Cesar! We are very happy for Bella, Mom, Dad, and the two newest members of the Romo family ~ CONGRATULATIONS!
Rocking Chair Reading!
I would like to invite some special guests to our classroom for some Rocking Chair Reading! If your child's Grandma or Grandpa would like to come and read to the classroom, we would love to have you! If a Grandparent is not available Aunts and Uncles are great too and are more than welcome! If you are interested please let me know, we are free mostly any afternoon from 1:00 to 2:00pm. Please email me and let me know :) Last year I had many special guests come and read to the class, and the kids loved it!
Here is a look at this week...
Monday
Congratulations Victoria...our STAR of the Week!!
We are starting letter Hh. As I had mentioned in my newsletter we are now working on one letter per week. I am confident that the class is ready, they are doing very well in Reading and I am very happy with the progress we have made so far! Thanks for helping out at home too!!

Tuesday
The Preschool and Kindergarten are in charge of the Ash Wednesday Mass coming up. If your child has a speaking part a note along with their part will be coming home on Wednesday. Please help your child memorize their part. Not all children will receive a part, only a few this time, but don't worry...there will be lots of parts saved for graduation :)
Wednesday
We will be reading our story today in groups ~ "Ted's Hat."
Thursday
With all the Valentine's we will be delivering soon, I am teaching a unit on the postal system. On Monday we wrote a letter as a class that I typed up. We discussed the different parts of the letter and what we need to put on the envelope: the address, stamp, and return address. Everyone should be receiving a special delivery in their mailbox soon!! We are waiting to see how long it takes to get to your house. If you choose to write us back, please include in the letter the date you received the letter and the date you mail it out to help us better track our postal delivery times ;) I really appreciate it!! The children are VERY excited about receiving mail at school!
Friday
Ladies Guild Hot Lunch
Library Books due back.
SHOW n' TELL ~ please have your child bring in one item that either shows love or that they love. They each will get a turn to share it with the class and explain why it is sooo lovely!
Valentine's Day Party!!
Our party will be held from 10am to 11am. If you would like to come and help out, please contact Mrs. McNamara. We are busy decorating our boxes for all our Valentines. Please remember to NOT put names on the outside envelopes, only have your child sign their name, this makes passing them out much easier. We have 17 children in our class.
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend! Remember no school on Monday!
Mrs. Dougherty
