Ms. Smith's Weekly Newsletter
September 20, 2019
Hello all, we've had another great week in G1. We filled up our marble jar today, so we earned stem bin free time today. We've been working on this marble jar for about 3 weeks, so it was a much earned reward. We can earn marbles for following the HALL expectations, transitioning quietly and just over all rocking our day! And your learners have been doing just that!! I am so proud of our little famiLEE.
- FAMILEE MOVIE NIGHT
… we look forward to seeing all of our FamiLEEs at PTO's FamiLEE Movie Night. Rain or shine, we will still host the event. If, for weather reasons, we move Movie Night indoors, we will be in the gym and cafeteria. You can bring blankets and chairs to set up for the viewing. Our Fall Book Fair will be open from 6:00 - 7:00 and PTO will be selling concessions during the movie. We can't wait to see you all there!
