CIRCUS

Here's an idea....

IF we have at least 20 people go...the kids and I would like to go to the circus in February.  The actual date would be Feb. 8 at 7:30 which is a Wednesday night.  I can get cheap tickets for the first nights showing NOW before they go on sale to the public.  The tickets would be $15.00 each.  The cost of the ticket would be non-refundable.  I would also need a few chaperones to go to help with transportation.  This "field trip" is not affiliated with the school, just a class fun time activity. 

If you would like your child to go or if you would like to be a chaperone, please let me know by Wednesday.  You must also send in the money at that time.  You can make the check out to me.  I will write you a reciept. 

Let's here it for The Greatest Show on Earth-Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus presents DRAGONS. 

Newsletter

After Thanksgiving I will be staring a monthly newsletter.  I feel like we are losing contact and the kids are not showing you their planners. I will send it out on the first of the month with dates, reminders, and an overall review of what we will be doing during the month. 

Magazine morning was amazing.  The feedback I got from the kids was very positive.  If you can send in any children's magazines that would be helpful.  We will do this every Friday from 9-10. 

DARE ESSAYS... we will start writing our DARE essays on Monday.  These are 5 paragraph papers that are REQUIRED to graduate from DARE.  They will be started at school but might need to come home to be finished.  Please do not write these for your children.  They can do it!!!!

Reading Rainbow Videos..We are creating Reading Rainbow videos related to Landforms.  We are really excited to incorporate science and technology.  We look forward to presenting these to our families. 

Have a great weekend.  I'm off to the beach!!

13 Boxes and a Bonfire

Thank you to the families that helped with Operation Christmas Child.  I took 13 boxes to church this morning.  It was a great representation of our class and how much we care for others.  A big shout out to Jada, Jaela, Wesley, Shawn, Emily and Hayley. 

BONFIRE!!!
We had an awesome time at the bonfire.  We told stories, ate marshmallows and hotdogs, drank a ton of hot chocolate (Claire, haha), and had a fun time scaring each other.  NOW it's time to reach the next 2 six week reading goals (6 books per six weeks) so we can have another get together.  We'll talk as a class to decide what we'll do.  Please encourage your children to read and to reach goals.  Congrats to the following goal getters :)
Grace, Claire, Kiara, Tyler, Wesley, Adam, Karol, Ivy, Emily, Connie, and Shawn!!!  I'm so proud of these readers!!!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD

UPDATE....

We will take the boxes to Trinity Wesleyan Church on Sunday, Nov. 13 at the 8:30 service.  If you would like to meet me at church please be there by 8:20 and we will sit together.  At this time we only have about 10 boxes so if you have one that you would like to donate still please send it in.  A BIG SHOUT OUT to Shawn's momma for donating five HUGE boxes of stuff for the boxes.  This was so sweet of her and Food Lion. 

Another shout out to Jaela and her church.  She gave a little speech to her church and they are donating boxes also.  Go Jaela.  Way to spread the word. 

So, meet at the church-on Aiken Road in Eden-at 8:20 on the 13th. 

Thanks for all you do!!
