We are still finalizing the date, but Terri Hancock, Director of Education from the Naperville Humane Society, will be coming to visit with her therapy dog. Her visit will be about 15 to 20 minutes. She will discuss the training of a working dog and how to properly care for animals. Please notify me if your child has a dog allergy as soon as possible.
Thank you to all the parents and children who helped to transform our hallway into a magnificent rainforest. Thank you to Mrs. Bernhardt, Mrs. Nadeem, and Mrs. Bhatia for working after school to put up decorations. I would also like to thank all the parents who sent generous donations of decorations or did work for us at home.
I would also like to thank the parents who came in to help us with our rainforest in a bottle. Thank you to Mrs. Hartley, Mrs. Mack, Mrs. Zamarski, and Mrs. Bhatia for taking time out of their day to come and help. The projects looked amazing.
Thank you to the following families for their duct tape donations: Paulline's, Koulos's, Izzo's, Mack's, Williams, Hallman's, Neely's, & Nagarajan's
May Watts Science Fair is on February 7th. Last year was the first year May Watts had a science fair. It was a successful night, and we are doing it again. The STEM parents will be coordinating this event. Start thinking now about a project and watch your emails for updates on getting started. We also need volunteers to help students set up from 6:00 - 6:30 the night of the fair. If you can help, please contact Parul at parul_dhawan@yahoo.com. Information and forms are available on the Watts PTA Website.
Six Flags Theme Parks are sponsoring the Read to Succeed Six-Hour Reading Club program. The registration form and parent letter that provides more details about the program was sent home before break. The reading log is due on Feb. 8th. They cannot be turned in late. If you have any questions please contact Mrs. May.
If you are doing the Young Author's Program, the student's final manuscripts are due on Wednesday, February 27th.
Also remember to have your student log in his/her minutes for reading. They need to go to Reading Stars on the May Watts website. The students get different awards for reading the amount of minutes they are suppose to read.
Box Tops for Education: Thank you for taking the time to clip and submit Box Tops. A total of 8,987 Box Tops have been collected already this year. The money we get for the Box Tops goes directly back to the school. Please continue to save Box Tops and send them with your child to school.
Have a great week!
