Here are a few things happening this week:    *  In Literacy, we are working on the letter O o.  This is a hard working vowel because it has 2 sounds; the sound like Olive Octapus, in words such as olive, oven, omelet, otter, and ostrich.  The long O o says its own name and can be found in words such as open, oak, obo, snow, boat, go, and oval.  Show and Tell will be on Thursday this week because there is no school on Friday.     *  Wednesday, February 11th - Valentine's Day meal in the cafeteria.   *  Our Valentine's Day celebration will be Thursday afternoon.  This is when we will hand out our valentine's to each other.  We will also have a little party.  Happy Valentine's Day!   *  There is NO SCHOOL on Friday, February 13th.  It is a PD Day for teachers.  Enjoy your long weekend.
