February is an exciting month filled with dog-themed
activities and MORE:
- Dog Drawing/dog story contest. Have your child draw a picture of a dog and/or write a story about a dog. Your child can write the story themselves or they can dictate a story for you to write for them. Please return these by Friday, February 21st. The paper to use was sent home in their Wednesday envelopes.
- Reading minutes: Please color a heart for every 5-10 minutes of reading. Students who return this by the end of the month will be entered in a drawing.
- Please take a picture of your child reading to their dog or a stuffed animal dog and return to school by February 21st. These will all be displayed in the hallway the night of Reading Fun Night.
- Friday, February 14th is the 100th day of school as well as Valentine's Day. Have your child wear red, white or pink. You may bring valentine treats if you choose, enough for 22 students.
- On February 24th, each student will get a chance to read "in the doghouse" in the lobby. They will be reading books with another friend or two from our class, plus a 3rd grade buddy. We are VERY excited about this!!!
- On February 27th will be our Reading Fun Night. Come to school for a hot dog dinner and stay and hear some teachers read books about dogs. There will also be face painting and tattoos. This is an amazing night, put it on your calendar!
This month we will also be meeting and learning about
different types of dogs. We will see and learn about
mushers and dogsled teams. We also will learn about
therapy dogs and even get to see some agility training dogs
jump through an obstacle course. Police dogs will also be
coming to our school. If you have any questions about the
activities ahead, please let me know! Happy Reading.
