Hello Wonderful Families,

The read-a-thon was a huge success! We read 120 books! Miguel and TiGi were the lucky winners who guessed the total number of books read by the end of the day. Thank you for all of you, moms, dads, grandmas, brothers, sisters and friends for your passionate participation and enthusiastic support!
Read-a-thon logs will be sent home next week. Please send in your pledged amount by the end of March.

On another note, we are missing a dearly loved stuffy that came with Rowdy yesterday. It's a beige dolphin that's about the length of a child's lower arm. It went missing from Rowdy's cubby. He's had this lovey for many years and was sad to go home without it at the end of the day. If it happens to turn up in anyone's backpack, please return it to Rowdy's cubby. It would make him really really happy!

There are a few students who are missing returning forms. Yikes! The deadline was this Monday. A second copy went home with your child on Thursday. Please return the docs on Monday.

Monday 10:30 - Students of the Month. Congratulations to Isiaih Hall and Tiana Pete for being outstanding students in first grade!

Thursday, March 2, 8:30-12:00 - Annual TISA Read-a-thon

First graders are raising money for their end-of-year field trip to Ghost Ranch!

We are hoping that every student will raise $25 at our Read-a-Thon

so that we can achieve our goal. Please help your child find sponsors (family, friends,

businesses)  to donate money for every book she or he reads at the Read-a-Thon! Students in first grade will begin their Read-A-Thon day at 8:30 with healthy breakfast treats brought from home followed by reading until 12 noon. Parents, siblings, and other family members or friends are welcome to join students to read during this time. It will be a pajama day!  PJs, pillows, small blankets, stuffed animals, and healthy snacks/drinks to share will be welcome!  We would also be happy to borrow a Seuss movie for the day. Children can bring in a bunch of their favorite books from home to read. Please label books that are extra special with your child’s name.  Books will also be available in the classroom. Please fill this form out and bring it back by Wednesday, February 28. Read-a-thon money is due Thursday, March 29. Please fill checks out to TISA. Please check off your choice:

 My child will be reading with _________________(person/s) from _______to _______ (time).
 My child will need a volunteer to read with from _________ to _________(time).

Name / Business	How much will you donate per book Or chapters read:

Pizza day was canceled because of early dismissal last Thursday. Please mark your calendars for pizza money. It's due by the last Tuesday every month. In March, that is March 27. Money is not accepted after that day. Prepaying can save you the headache of keeping that in mind for each month. If you prepay for one slice of pizza for the rest of the year, it would be $6 for three months. Please submit your pizza order in a labeled pouch (name, amount of money enclosed, how many slices, choice of topping). Thank you!

We had fun with Owee's gecko last week. We also started working on studying money in our math unit. We will be studying all US coins. If you have a collection of the state coins, a Sacagawea coin, a half dollar, a two-dollar coin, etc. please send them in a safe pouch and ask your child to let me know that they have them. Otherwise no money is brought to school by the children please.
