Kevin Skarupa, a meteorologist from WMUR News Nine, will be visiting the fourth grade on Wednesday, January 14th. Early release date is January 15th. Dismissal is at 12:30 pm. Tuesday, January 20th is Inauguration Day. All students are expected to complete a short project by Friday, January 16th to earn their "ticket" to the inauguration. We plan to watch this special event on television in our library. No school on Monday, January 19th due to Civil Rights Day. Keep reading those accelerated readers. Our class is trying to reach a new goal for the month of January. If everyone reaches their goal we will have a classroom celebration. Details will follow. Valentine's Day is coming soon. I will send home a list of our students so that you can get started on cards early, if you like. Please make sure your child has a warm coat, gloves or mittens and a hat each day. Students without these essential items are kept in indoor study during recess.
