BOX TOPS – This Friday, February 27th is our last Box Tops for Education collection day. Please send any Box Tops you may still have by Friday. Each Box Top is worth cash for our school. We will let you know the final results of the collection by class. The class that brings in the most Box Top will receive a prize.Thank you for your support. Go Eagles!
LANGUAGE ARTS – We continue to work on vocabulary and finding the main idea with supporting details in the story. If your child is reading consistently at home, you will be noticing great growth in his/her abilities. Consistency allows for fluency to develop. Such fun!

We discuss the answers at school, but with the incorrect answers circled in red you will know the kind of mistakes your child is making.
SOCIAL SCIENCE – We are learning what country we live in, the state, the city, as well as the seven continents. We will continue with Chapter 2 “Where People Live” through the month of March. Mapping will also be included in our studies.

McTEACHER’S NIGHT– Thursday, February 26th from 4:30 – 8:00pm we will be hosting a McTeacher’s Night Fellowship FUNdinner to, (first and foremost) gather together for fellowship and also raise money for our school. This night has raised around $800 for us in the past. The students LOVE to see our faculty AND staff in the real world…won’t you please come and support this event? I will be there from 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM. It should be lots of fun!!!
PHYSICAL FITNESS TRAINING – Mrs. Whipple has begun preparing our First Graders for the Physical Fitness Testing which is in March. Please remember to wear tennis shoes each Monday to avoid any injuries. Thanks!
FCS AUCTION– The FCS auction is underway! This is our largest fundraising event each year. We are excited about setting our goals even higher than last year. The auction is a great way to donate to our school. Your donations will bless the lives of others. Our class will be doing a basket and you will be hearing from the room moms what items will be needed for that. I am hoping that each family will find that special something to donate to the auction. I would like to encourage you to support this event by giving or getting donations of services, trips, items, desserts, and/or dinner tickets. The dinner/silent and live auction will take place on Saturday, March 14th, from 5:00 to 9:00 P.M. in the FCS Gym.
