October 18 - 22, 2010

We are half way through the month once again. Amazing!
Another great week!
*Spelling - Wow! Our class is doing so well. Even if your child misspelled 1 or 2 words, they did an awesome job. Remember to celebrate the successes of how well they did. Practice reading spelling and sight words every week. It amazes me that students can spell the words but have trouble reading the spelling words.
*Home Reading - Keep up the great work! What a neat experience it is for you to snuggle with your child and read together. There will be a new story coming home every Monday. Please remember to read every night plus read the vocabulary words.
*Blog - Hope you enjoy the pictures on the blog. At the end of the school year, each student will receive a D.V.D. with pictures of activities we have experienced at school.
*Halloween Party - Friday, October 29. Parade at 11:30 a.m. Parents will sit in the gym to watch the parade.
Alex - 14 slices ham Raegan - 1 pkg summer sausage - extra thin slices
Ivy - 1 pkg cheese shredded Britton - 26 cookies
Amelia - 26 rice krispie squares Mrs. Bourne - pizza sauce, cheese, pineapples,
Kitanna - 1 pkg pizza shells (12) mushrooms, candy
Please have food to school by 8:30 a.m.
Each student is making their own pizza and then Jane's mom, Leslie Heggie, will have some of the mom's come and cook them for us.
Some of you have asked if you can send something for the party. You will have your turn at Christmas or Valentine's, but you may send something if you would like to.
*Scholastic Book Order - Friday, October 22.
*Character Education - Integrity
*Library - We go every Wednesday and Friday.
*Picture Retake - October 19. Money for pictures due October 18.
*Agendas - Thanks for remembering to send it every day along with the zipped lock bag.
*Plastic Grocery Bags - Send anytime!
*Shoe laces and zippers - Keep practicing! It sure helps.
*Weather - Weather is changing. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately because we go outside unless there is a downpour or chance of frost bite!
*Lunch Schedule - I'm glad we are back to our old lunch schedule. The kids that went home for lunch, didn't have a chance to play outside when they came back.
Lunch 12:00 - 12:22 p.m. - eat lunch. Then 12:22 - 12:44 p.m. students are out side playing. Warning bell rings at 12:44 p.m. Thanks for trying to be back to school on time.
Hope you had a great weekend and enjoy "Your Crew"!
