Conferences are coming up on Feb. 14th and Feb. 16th.    Please use this link and the code tk238 to sign up.  It has just been opened.




We are going to have a box top contest next week, Jan. 30 - Feb.3, so please send in any box tops that you have been saving next week.





Since Conferences are on February 14th, LCE is celebrating Valentine's Day as a school on Friday, February 10th.  That is also a 1/2 day.  In the past, I've had students decorate their own mailboxes to hold all their valentines.  The directions are below....


Valentine Originality

Decorate a box at home to be your Valentine mailbox. This will hold your cards from your classmates and teachers. You may use any type of box you wish. Some examples are shoe, cereal, cracker, shirt, tissue, whatever! Turn your box into some clever, creative item to be your mailbox. Some fun ideas may include a toaster, shark, computer, doghouse, candy bar, oven, microwave, fire truck, pop can… really stretch your brain to have an unusual type of mailbox. Or decorate it and make it beautiful!

Guidelines:
1. Cover your box completely.
2. Have an opening large enough for valentines from friends.
3. Create an easy way to remove your cards so you can use
your box to take your valentines home.
4. YOUR NAME must be clearly marked by the opening so it
will be easy for your friends to deliver your valentines.
5. HAVE FUN!
Due Date: Friday, February 10th


Here are a few examples from previous years.
