Dear Learning Lions and Parents,
Finally, next week, we will be looking forward to a whole (5) day week! It will really be nice to be back in a regular schedule. This past week we read a very cute book about a little girl who was able to talk to animals. It was fun seeing the different things that she did with her four-legged friends. Speaking of reading, I'm so proud of three girls that received extra credit in reading. They each wrote summaries of the book that they were given for Christmas. Way to ge Cate, Lauren, and Avery. You certainly show Initiative, Responsibility, and Effort.
Next Friday is the 100th day of school. We will do a few activities that go along with this special day. Your child needs to bring in 100 food items that we can mix together to have a special shared treat on Friday. Remember to make them healthy choices. Your child must make sure that there are 100 pieces. This will not seem like much of some, but 100 from each child is what we want. Counting is part of the task.
Your child got a non-fiction book that he or she will be doing a book report on. They will be reading for information in this book. The book report paper will come home on Monday.
Please make sure that you send in the permission sheet and donation, if you choose, next week for our trip to the Tellus Museum. We can go only if we collect enough money to pay admission and for the bus. Thank you to 7 Lions who have already done that.

Have a super lovely winter weekend.
