Announcements

Parents, please take note that I am sending home past report cards and progress reports for you scrapbooks. They are yours to keep or display how smart your child has become.

Please make sure your child goes to the restroom before coming to school. There seems to be a great number who are needing to leave the classroom quite early to go to the restroom.

The Open House events are for parents of students who are looking to come to WCA in the fall. If you have friends or family who are looking for a change in schools for their child, please invite them to come to one of our Open House events.  The change is worth it.

Valentine Party Plans

The class party will be very simple. Mrs. Donaldson and Mrs. Matthews are heading up the refreshments. There will be a sign up sheet outside the classroom door on Monday.  Please be sure to come by to sign up.

As for Valentine cards, just have your child sign enough for the class and put them in envelopes. There is no need to put names on the envelopes. Please do not send a set for girls and a set for boys, just one set that will be for everyone. Bring them to school on February 14 ready to pass out. It will be very help for for your child if you send the cards in a grocery bag for easy distribution.

We will use a valentine gift bag to collect all of our cards. Please be sure to send on large enough to hold all the cards and goodies that will come in that day. Also have your child's name on the bag in some way. There is no contest so you do not have to get creative. This also needs to be brought to school on February 14.

For those who would like to attend the party will be at 2:00 in the afternoon.

Handwriting

Though there is no handwriting assigned for homework, please encourage your child to practice correct cursive formation when writing at home. Please refer to the "Cursive Formation Guide" and "Correct Hand Position" guides sent home the first day of school.

The grading system we use for handwriting is as follows:

S+     Fantastic!--Perfect paper

S      Good Job--Needs a little improvement

S-     Acceptable--Needs improvement

N      Needs Improvement

U      Unacceptable--Messy and shows little effort

Reading

Please remember that a "C" reader is an average reader, a "B" reader is above average, and an "A" reader is an advanced reader. A "C" grade at the beginning of the school year is normal.
