Star Class News
Week of February 17th


Thank you to all of the families that made it to our Good Night Moon Field trip. We had fun seeing so many of our friends there. We hope you enjoyed it! We also want to thank everyone for the goodies provided for our Valentines party. With short notice, we were able to have a wonderful lunch with pizza, fruit, crackers, and treats to go along with our movie.

Donations Needed
We are currently seeking donations for the Auction. We are in need of items for both Silent and Live Auction. If you have anything you would like to donate or know someone with a business who would like to donate items or service we would love to accept them. We would also be very happy to provide a receipt for tax purposes. Thanks for your support.

Save the Date
Mark your calendars for our Annual Dinner Auction to be held Saturday, March 29, 2014
from 5:00 – 8:00 in Jason Lee Hall. Limited childcare will be available for preschool aged children during this event. Early bird tickets will go on sale March 3rd. Additional details will be available next month.

Registration for Next year
Registration has begun for 2014-2015. If you haven't had a chance to register, stop by Maria's office to get a spot!

This week
This week we are going to be working on one of our class auction projects, catch up on some of the work we like to do monthly (since we are behind with all of the missing days) and start our Mo Willems unit. Mo Willems has written some of our favorite books, this week we will be learning about two of his famous characters Knufflebunny (a beloved stuff animal that gets lost) and Pigeon (trying to get stuff he wants). Next week we will be continuing our Mo Willems unit with other great characters Elephant and Piggie.

Word Wall
This week we will be introducing the letter Oo for Octopus and Olives. Please have your child bring in items that start with the letter and put them in the pelican so we can share them at the end of the day.
