We are cruising right along and are almost near the end of October (Wow!). Thank you to EVERYONE for coming to conferences. We had 100% attend.
We want to give a HUGE shout out to our PTA. Not only is our classroom getting a new digital camera, but so are all the other classrooms. Which means... MORE pictures. If you haven't attended a PTA meeting yet, come check it out in November.
Pumpkin Decorating Contest:
The library is holding their annual pumpkin decorating contest modeled after a character from a book. The requirements for this contest have been sent home already, but if you need an update, let me know and I can send it home again. Pumpkins can start being brought in through the 29th. Judging takes place on the 30th.
Coupon Book Pizza Party:
Our class sold over 100 coupon books and has earned a pizza party. On Thursday, October 23rd is the day our pizza will be here. If you would like to send in a healthy side option to accompany our pizza, please let me know. Some ideas would be apple slices, veggies, bananas or baked chips. Also, the students will be able to bring in a caffeine free drink of their choice. If someone forgets, I always bring extra.
Red Ribbon Week is in full force. Wednesday is crazy hair and sock day. Thursday is pj day. Friday is Spirit day (Westside T-shirt).
Other notes:
Walk to Read:
We are switching to integrated Social Studies so we will be keeping our kids for walk to read and building a 3D community. We are also getting student input on our Walk to Read model and taking a look at data to determine where to go from here.
If your child can have computer access at home, please encourage them to practice typing at home. They need to pass each module with an 80% or higher. www.learning.com
Turkey in Disguise:
Gobble! Gobble! Our turkeys are coming home to be put in disguise. Students are encourage to disguise their turkeys and then write about it. Watch for the template to come home today.
We were having some extra fun with a brain break.
And finally... a little about what makes me happy. A conference day surprise from my husband. It was a perfect way to end my day and start up conferences.
