JOY POD ***Hold on to your hats...we are heading into a busy next couple of months and looking forward to all the fun to be had!
Valentine's Day:
On Wednesday, February 13, Joy Pod students are encouraged to bring in personalized Valentine cards to hand out in their responsibility classes. We ask that if students are bringing Valentine cards that they bring enough Valentine cards for all students in the classroom. If your child plans to make their own Valentine cards and you are in need of supplies, please let your responsibility teacher know as we want to make sure that all children have access to bringing in Valentine cards.
****Please do not send in snacks as we have many children in the Joy Pod with serious food allergies****

Math:
On Tuesday, February 19th we will celebrate 100 days of school. We would love to encourage students to decorate a t-shirt at home with 100 things and wear this on Tuesday,
February 19th.
If
you are thinking of decorating a t-shirt with 100 things you can find ideas if you “Google
100 days of school t-shirts" or "Pinterest." Have
fun planning!
If
you have any questions, please feel free to email your responsibility teacher.
