Theme Update
This week we are going to be talking about our community members. We will be reviewing what these valuable members do and how important they are to our communities. One of the community members will be the town mayor. This is our way to cover the election process (without using the real candidates). Anyone in the town can run for mayor. We will be having elections on Friday and all community members can vote. Students that are interested in running can come to class on Wednesday ready to share their 'ideas' on what they would do as mayor. They can dress up, make posters, stickers, food, whatever-be creative. We will be talking about how we should be picking the mayor on what they can do for our community, and that it's not a popularity contest : )
Good job everyone on getting their town buildings in today. If you forgot get them in a.s.a.p.
New Round of Specials
Today we started the new round of specials. We have Music with Mr. O and P.E. with Ms. Lamonski. This week we will have Music on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday we will have P.E. so don't forget your tennis shoes.
Fun Friday
This Friday we are having our first Fun Friday. Every week your child earns a star for their homeroom, literacy and math classes for having work completed and turned in (1 star/class=3 stars/week total). Every day that they have a green card (or a purple card) they get another star (5 days/week=5stars total). Every full week they have a chance to earn 8 stars total. At the end of about 6 weeks we total them up and figure out how many they missed. For this round they can only miss 5 stars. If they miss 6 or more stars they will be in the 'Opportunity Room' to work on any incomplete work or do an activity to work on their behavior. Check in this week's Weekly Folder to see how your child did on earning their stars and if they will be going to Fun Friday this week or going to the 'Opportunity Room'.
Scholastic
Today your Scholastic books showed up. Mrs. Avery will be sorting them and handing them out this week.
In your Weekly Folder you will see the October Scholastic Catalogs. I wanted to get them out and placed before the Holiday. Order if you would like to. Any orders placed help us earn points to redeem for books for the classroom. Orders are due back next Tuesday the 14th. Thanks.
Thank You!!!!!
Thank you all for remembering my birthday last week. It was so great to celebrate with the kids! Your gift was perfect too! I am not able to fine tune those toe nails these days and I certainly don't trust the husband to help trim my toes. Thank you so much for thinking of me!!!!!
Final Thoughts
I enjoyed seeing you all at conferences. I hope you found them to be helpful and informative. Enjoy the chilly weather! It's nice fall weather is finally here : )
