Winter Break is Coming!

Hopefully we will get an actual break from winter soon, but in the meantime winter break for school means that the students will have next week off. They will return to school on Monday, February 24th.

The 4th Annual East Hill Science Fair will be held on Tuesday, March 18th at 6:30. Please encourage your child to participate. It is so much fun for the students and such a great learning experience. It is non-competitive and open to all students in grades K-5. Students are encouraged to either work alone, with a sibling, with friends, or with whomever they’d like. They receive a Certificate of Participation, a ribbon, and written feedback from several students in the building. The initial packet said that applications were due on February 13th, but we will take them until the end of February. Please talk to your child about this great opportunity. 

Valentine’s parties will be held this Friday at 2:15. As always, only those parents who have been contacted by the room parents should attend (without younger children), and healthy snacks are always encouraged.

The math words of the week are meter (M), compose (T), decompose (W), number line (Th), and open number line (F).
