Dear Parents,
I hope you had the chance to view the Super Moon, Blue Moon, and Lunar Eclipse this week. Great timing since we began our study of weather and patterns of Earth. We are practicing Education Galaxy too. It is a stellar time to be a CCES Comet.
IMPORTANT HEALTH MESSAGE
We are still seeing many cases of flu, strep and other illnesses. Thank you for being mindful of the “24 hour rule”! This rule is: students must be fever-free and symptom-free for 24 hours, without medication, before returning to school. We are doing everything in our power to keep our building as clean as possible, as well as encouraging frequent hand washing. Hopefully together we can prevent the spread of these germs. And a huge thank you to those of you who sent in tissues! Our class greatly appreciates it!
FEBRUARY NIGHT WRITES
February Night Writes will be assigned on Monday and will be due on the 26th. As before, students will select one prompt to complete the entire writing process. I have made comments (a “glow” and a “grow”) on each student’s January Night Write, and I will be conferencing with the students on how to improve their writing even more. I hope that each student will look at their “glow and grow”, and use that information towards their writing in February.
VALENTINES
All students should give a valentine to each student in our classroom. Valentine boxes may be brought no earlier than Monday, February 12th. The party will begin at 2:00 on Wednesday, February 14th.

Our trip to the museum is March 1st. This is the only field trip that chaperones are necessary. I am looking for 6 moms or dads to volunteer.
