Telling Time: Our new unit for math is “telling time.” The first graders will learn to tell time to the hour and half hour. Second graders are working on time to 5 minute increments, plus knowing time after the hour and before the hour.
Reading: Return your February reading calendar on Monday. There will be only one more month of Book-it Pizza reading for the pizza certificate. After that I just want you to continue reading one hour a week because it’s a good way to build reading skills.
Glue Sticks: We are just about glue-less in the classroom. Please send more glue sticks to school with your student!
Upcoming Events: March 18—Interactive Art Night

Valentine’s Day Party: Since February 14 is on a Sunday, we will have our Valentine exchange on Friday, the 12th.

Spring is
Here...
TCJA TIMES
February 1, 2010 - Newsletter
Upcoming Event: School Closure / Presidents Day
Date/Time: February 15
Who it impacts: All School Families
Overview: As posted in the calendar, we are off for Presidents' Day. If
daycare is a need, we may be able to accommodate. Please contact the office
if this is something that you are interested in. We will post a decision as
to childcare (the 15th) in next week's newsletter.
Upcoming Event: Calendar Change
Date/Time: February 22
Who it impacts: All School Families
Overview: This was announced in the last newsletter, so this is just a
reminder that although the calendar shows February 22 as a day off school
for teacher's inservice, we took that day last month (January 19). This
means that we will be in school in February 22. Please change your calendar
accordingly. If parents have already made arrangements to take their
child(ren) out for the day and those arrangements cannot be changed, we need
you to contact the office to have the day excused. Otherwise, we are
expecting all students to be in class on this day. Again, we try to set our
calendar a year in advance, and when changes like this need to occur, we are
grateful for the understanding and the flexibility of our school families.
Upcoming Event: Mission Trip Meeting
Date/Time: February 4 - 6:00pm
Who it impacts: Those interested in participating in the Mission Trip
Overview: The Tesopaco Mission Trip will run on the dates that are posted in
the calendar so as to allow us to accommodate those several students who
will be joining us from UCA. We will meet to go over the schedule in detail
(handouts will be provided), and we will

not yet turned in your information regarding participating, and if you are
planning to participate, please inform us at the office so that we can build
a more detailed budget for the trip. I would like to present the final list
of participants at this meeting.
Upcoming Event: Badminton Night
Date/Time: February 1 / 6:30-8:00pm
Who it impacts: 7th grade and up
Overview: The nets will be set up and the gym is going to be open to play
some badminton. Games will be drop-in in format. If enough players show, we
can go to ladder tournament format. The objective is just to come out and
have some fun. If the turn-out warrants it, we'll make this a weekly feature
through February.
Upcoming Event: Principal's Open Gym
Date/Time: February 9 / 5:45-7:00pm
Who it impacts: All elementary students (through 6th grade)
Overview: I don't get opportunity to play with the lower elementary students
very often, so I am going to open the gym next Tuesday for an elementary gym
night. For all those who come out, we'll be playing indoor soccer. This will
be a first-time event. If interest continues, we will try to do this on a
twice-monthly basis.

lucky library numbers for this week are 9 and 224. Come see Mr. O to claim

Other Information Worthy of Note:
Stars and Stripes over TCJA.
It was more than 12 years ago that the flag that had been flying in front of
our school was taken down, the pole was removed, and a smaller flag was
attached to the side of the gym. Over the past few years we have been
planning to put in a new flag pole, but it took until this year before
someone took the helm and got that ball rolling. We want to thank Mr.
Laubach and his crew (his dad and brother, Patrick, Dean and several others)
for the work over Christmas, getting our new flagpole erected. Also, we want
to thank Mr. Daniel, Mr. Kostoff and our Tri-City pathfinders for hosting a
special dedication and first unfurling service. Finally, we want to thank
our seventh and eighth grade students who have been faithfully raising and
lowering the flag every day. It is nice to see our flag waving over us each
day.
Thank-You...
The Mission Trippers want to thank all those who came out to the dinner last
weekend. The evening was a huge success. Special thanks to the Salangos for
the meal. All of their labor and their travel was donated as their gift to
the mission project. We'd like to thank our parents for their support
throughout the project, from helping with decorations to tearing down. We'd
also like to thank all those who took a risk on us and purchased tickets. We
are still seeking donations to the project. We will be building a dining
room, and the total cost for the building will be about $6,800.00. We are
currently about $2,700 short of that goal.
