Swim Lessons
The Dragons and Vikings will have swim lessons next week! Please make sure you child wears his or her suit to school under their clothes, and to pack an extra pair of underwear, a towel, goggles, and flip flops. We would also like to encourage you to pack an extra snack for your child for when we return to school. We will be eating lunch at 10:30 and leaving school a little after 11:00 for the first lesson, as you can imagine, your child will be hungry when we return. Thank you, and an extra thank you to those volunteering to help out with the lessons!

Ice Skating and Such
Tuesday was our last day of ice skating lessons and we have to say that the Dragons and Vikings have all improved over the past six weeks. We had a great time and had wonderful instructors who made the lessons a lot of fun!
We had our Valentine's celebration on Monday. Everyone was really excited to open their Valentines and it was sweet to watch the students thank one another.
A few reminders;
There will be no school on Monday the 21st--staff inservice day, and this month's maintenance day is on Saturday the 19th from 9-1:00.
Science Fair: The science fair is sneaking up on us and is only three weeks away. As some of you may know science boards are available in the office area. Make sure your child picks one up and to cross their name off when they do.

Computer Skills
Hello Parents!
Your students have been practicing their typing skills with their alpha smarts and they have been able to play games on a few websites that Ms Benvenuto and I have personally gone through and checked out. Just in case you want your kids to practice on the computers at home I am posting the websites along with some information about the games.
www.portaportal.com
put in the guest access the password: chiefjo10
We allow the students to go through the sections math, reading groups, and reading. The other sections are for you to explore at home, but we do not at school.
www.coolmath4kids.com
This is another website we go on and there are many different games to explore from math games and puzzles to problem solvers.
You may want to stay close because the kids tend to click on the advertisements. :(

Science Fair
Science Fair
It’s that time of year to begin thinking about the science fair! This year’s fair will be held on Wednesday, March 9, at 6:30.
Your child has the opportunity to find their own experiment either online or in a science book (the experiment needs to be approved by me if he or she chooses one themselves). There are many websites to browse when looking for the right experiment-simply type in; science fair experiments, in any search engine. There will be many options to choose from. If your child needs help finding an experiment, or you would prefer, I can find an experiment for you child.
Science boards will be available a few weeks before the science fair. I will send home a note when they are available and there will be a sign above boards that will say Dragons and Vikings.
And lastly it is okay if your child types their information for their science board, as long as he or she types!
If you have any questions please feel free to email me or stop me in the hall.
Happy Science Fair!
