Dear Families,

The Flynn Show "Lights, Camera, Math" was a huge success!!  The children loved it, and I can honestly say that this is the BEST show I have ever seen at the Flynn!  The actors provided audience participation and puzzling math problems to be solved, all within the frameworks of magic and suspense.  Your child should have brought home a small pamphlet detailing the show.  I know, I want to learn more magic after this show....perhaps your child wants to as well?

I wanted to let you know that we have two special upcoming events at school  The first one is the 100th day of school.  It is next Thursday, and this year, we will not ask parents for special snacks to be sent in.  Instead, we will provide different experiences for children in all of the classes to celebrate this special day.  The 100th day of school also means that we are more than halfway done with the school year.  My goal is to continue building independence and self-reliance.  I ask that you do not walk your child down to his/her locker, but rather encourage your child to do so himself/herself.  It is vital that your child learns to manage his/her time and belongings in a reasonable manner and time-frame and the 100th day of school gives us yet another perfect opportunity to trust our children's abilities to problem-solve on their own.  Thank you.  The second special event at school is Valentine's Day, and the 14th.  In accordance with Harmony Traditions, we will have an end-of-the-day party with goodies and treats and we ask parents to send in treats such as muffins, cookies, juice and cups.  Thank you.  Please make sure all sweets are Tree Nut Free. Thank you.  If your child wishes to bring in cards to his/her friends, please make sure there is one for every student.  We have 18 students in class and I will send a separate email with all the students' names.  Thank you.

Lastly, thank you for supporting reading and writing at home.  This last week was fantastic with reading logs!!  WOW.  More kids read and more kids read more books!!!Thank you.

Have a great weekend.
Warm Regards,

Maria
