Valentine’s Party
Our
Valentine’s Day party will be on Friday, February 10th. For this day, your child is invited to bring
valentines to pass out, as well as a box or bag to keep their valentines safe. Your
child can make a Valentine Box (or bag) at home. They can be as simple as a decorated brown
paper bag or as complicated as papier-mâché. It’s up to you! Just make sure there is an opening for first graders to easily place their
valentines into. Your
child needs to bring a valentine for each child in our class. These can be
store bought or homemade! A list of student names went home earlier this week.
Coin Drive
Starting
February 6th, WOHE will be doing our annual coin drive to benefit Willard
Children’s Charitable Foundation. Our challenge will be to use our little bit
of loose change to make a BIG difference! Here is how the competition will work:
1) Each
teacher will have their own jar to collect coins.
2)Only
pennies should be placed in our classroom jar
3)All
silver coins and dollars should be placed in other teacher’s jars. Silver coins
decrease the total for our classroom.
4)The
class with the highest overall total wins a PARTY!
