Mrs.

Klassens Class
February 2016

Promotion information is attached to this letter. I am not

ready to think about sending them to first grade yet, but it will be here
before we know it! Keep in mind, many of our skills are ongoing and may
not be marked as mastered until closer to the end of the year.
If you have a PENcil pouch (the cloth type with a zipper) to send in
for your student it would be much appreciated. I bought some, but the
quality is not great and I dont expect them to last long.

Valentines Party
Our Valentines Day festivities will be on February 12th from 11:45-12:30.
Students can dress in their Valentines best and we will have a snack and
pass out Valentines cards. You are welcome to come and celebrate the
day with your little sweetheart.
Attached to this newsletter is a class list. Please send your child to school
with enough cards or treats for every student (22 total). A list of any
extra goodies we might need for the party will come at a later time.
