Today is the first Monday of school that we've had in a while!

Report Cards
Report cards for the 2nd 9 weeks came home already.  Please look them over and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

counselor survey
Parents please complete the Parent Survey (on hot pink paper) and return with your child to their teacher. THANKS so much for all your help and support!  I think I'm still missing about 8 forms.

100th day homework
The 100th day collections are coming in and look great!  Once they bring them in, the students are having a chance to share their collection, and then we are displaying them in the hallway.  If you have not completed this activity at home yet, please return to school by next Thursday!

Kindergarten Registration
Calling all future Kindergarteners!  Kindergarten Registration for incoming Kindergarteners for the 2018-2019 school year is March 8th, from 4-7pm.  If you have a student or know any parents who will have Kindergarten students next school year, please BOTH call the office to get added to the list, and plan to attend registration to get your child signed up for school next year!  Please help spread the word! 

PE tomorrow
Tomorrow in PE we get to experience something special!  Mrs. Sherry is welcoming Nine 13 Sports to Creekside!  They are bringing stationary bikes that all students will get to try out this week during their PE time.  Don't forget that they should wear tennis shoes (like every week on PE day) but also comfy clothes tomorrow so they can ride the bikes.

100th day pizza party
Due to the snow day, the 100th day of school will be this Friday!  Our pizza party for counting to 100 will be on Monday, January 29th.  Everyone in our class reached the goal! :)

Superkids Progress Reports
Today in your child's folder you will find the progress test we finished this week for the Frits and Ettabetta unit.  As a class, we did a great job!  Most students only missed 1 or 2 questions.  I was so proud!  Please look these over at home and let me know if you have any questions.


COGAT test
Tomorrow we will be taking the practice COGAT test for high ability placement. This practice test only has a few questions for each type of question on the test, and shouldn't take too long to finish.  This is to get us ready for the real COGAT test that we will take Tuesday-Thursday of next week.  Please refer to the letter Dr. Heiden sent home a couple weeks ago for the timeline of this process.

Superkids
Today we started unit 13 in Superkids: Us!  This unit is all about the letter U and all of the Superkids coming together.  It's the last unit in Meet the Superkids.  After it is over, we will start the second half of the series, called The Superkids Club.  In the club, we will introduce the rest of the letters through the activities that the Superkids do together in their club.

Solid Shape Museum
Today in math we learned about the 3-D shapes: cube, cylinder, cone, rectangular prism, and sphere.  For homework today, the math paper says to find these shapes around the house.  However, your child does not need to bring any of them to school.  Thanks!


Blood Drive
Papers went home if you are interested in participating in the blood drive here at Creekside in a few weeks.  Check the flyer for more details if you are interested.

Sight words
This week our words are: they, you.  Please add this to your practice at home!

Superkids online portal
This week I updated the online portal to reflect unit 13 that we are starting today!  I noticed that now that we are on the last unit for Meet The Superkids, there are 2 new games, 1 new story, and 1 new student book story!  If your child hasn't been on Superkids online at home in a while, now would be a great time to jump on again during their "screen time"!


Have a great week!
