I would like to thank those of you that were able to come to our Author's Tea this morning. I know you must have been as proud as I was of the children. It is unbelievable what they did for themselves in 2 weeks!! For those of you that were unable to make it, we took some pictures and I have put them into a slide show for you. I hope you enjoy :)

Author's Tea
I am hoping to see many of you tomorrow at our Author's Tea. We will begin at 8:30. I have told the children they are allowed to dress up if they would like (no jeans) but they should have a standard school attire change of clothes if needed for PE attire. We are excited!
Please also remember that Friday is Read All Day. The students are allowed to dress up like a Dr. Seuss character. They are also able to buy a Cat in the Hat hat for $2 or if they already have one they can pay $1 to wear it.

“Teasley’s Got talent”
Can your child sing…dance…do magic…or have some other unique talent?
If so, we want them to be a part of this year’s variety show!
We are showcasing the very best of what our students can do to put on an amazing performance!
The students will have the opportunity to pick up permission slips starting the week of February 6th outside my door. Permission slips are due back to me NO LATER than Friday February 17th. Once we determine how many students are interested in participating we will decide on the dates for auditions and rehearsals.
Permission slips will include a behavior contract for you and your child to sign. This must be completed in order for your child to participate. No child can participate without a signed permission slip. If you have any questions please contact me at the e-mail address listed below.
Thank you!
