Hello Everyone,
I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your three-day weekend!

NO SCHOOL: MONDAY 2/8/21 LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY
NO SCHOOL: MONDAY 2/15/21 PRESIDENT'S DAY
Read-A-Thon: this year Mountain School is participating in The Read Across America program and the theme is "practice empathy." We will be using the Read-A-Thon reading log to help kids log their reading minutes for the next 2 weeks on google classroom. Please read the parent letter below to find out how this works. Donations are not required, but are very appreciated. There is a pledge letter below to keep track of pledges should you and your child elect to contribute in this way. Your child should focus on selecting books that have to do with practicing empathy and compassion.
Here are some links to various book choices on themes of empathy:

Valentine's Exchange:
Valentine bags will be on the fourth grade table in the PAC room next week. Your child can bring valentines to put/drop into bags for their classmates T-TH (1 per student). They can be homemade and very simple. They should put their name on the valentines they are giving and leave the name of who they are giving them to blank. We have 20 students and 2 teachers.
*Please make sure that your child includes everyone in the exchange if they are going to participate.
