Mrs. Landmon & I are so excited about the progress all of the children have made in learning their multiplication tables! We have 7 children who have made 100% on their times test; six who are hovering in the 90s (many with 99 :); and the remaining are making scores in the 80s! This is what we call SUCCESS, and it proves to the children that with DILIGENCE (a social studies word we use over & over), they can accomplish their goals.
We have a lot of fun things coming up at Varner this week. On Friday is Career Dress-up Day. (See below for more info.) Friday evening is a Crazy Mismatch Dance from 6 - 8:30. I plan to chaperone part of the dance and can't wait to see the Crazy clothes!
Spirit Day: Friday, February 24, 2012
Wear your Varner t-shirt current or previous years. The classes with the most participation will win a prize.
Dress Up Career Day: Friday, February 24, 2012.
This month the counselors have been doing career lessons with kindergarten through 5th graders to explore the world of work. This Friday students will be able to dress up as a worker in their favorite career. Staff and teachers are also encouraged to dress up as a worker in another career...maybe something they only dreamed of doing. Career outfits will count towards Spirit Day. Please be sure that the career outfits do not include any pretend weapons and that it follows the dress code.
Mismatch Dance: Friday, February 24th from 6:00-8:30pm.
The students can come in their wild and crazy outfits. Tie dyed! Polka dots! Stripes! We will have a contest for the most mismatched outfits. Presale tickets are $3.00 per student. If you pay at the door it is $5.00. The admission price includes snacks and drinks.
Please go to What are We Learning this Week? to find out more about academics.
Have a great week!
