WORKING ON SUNDAY!!!

Getting ready to go to work to get planned for the week.  Remember we will be testing for 3 days, Tues, Wed., and Thurs. Please consider sending in something for our shoe boxes and don't forget the POWER SNACK.  If it was your turn, I sent a note in your child's planner.  I also need baggies for the snacks unless you'd like to bag them for me. 

I need a volunteer who would like to organize parents to send in Halloween snack.  Cupcakes, drinks, chips, just something small for us to snack on.  Let me know if you'd be interested. 

I am going to have after school detention this week.  I have so many kids who owe me work it is unbelieveable.  The detention will be on Thursday from 2:30-3:30.  Look in the planner this week to see if your child needs to stay.  You may pick them up in front of the gym at 3:30 (not in front of the school).  If your child has chorus then they need to miss chorus or miss the work and make a zero-it's up to you. 

I got 1 scrabble game from Tyler's family.  Is anyone looking at yard sales for me?  Just a reminder, if you find a scrabble game for me, please treat our class to this wonderful game.

Don't forget to remind your child to pick their stickers off their work when folders come home.  Some kids say they never get the opportunity to get their stickers because their parents throw their papers away.  Please let them do this on their own too.  Don't do it for them!  It gives them the opportunity to see what they are making on their papers.  We don't always get to see our grades during the week so it's nice for them to be able to see their work.  This is just a baby step to growing up-don't pick their stickers, and make them be responsible for bringing them to school.  Don't bring them for them, they'll get it eventually, really!!!

Love you and have a great week.  Enjoy your families and the wonderful fall weather.  We are going to work hard this week to eliminate a lot of the homework so we can enjoy the weather.  Please make or encourage your child to play outside.  Shut the TV off, put the video games away and enjoy the play time (and extra reading time).
