In the Classroom... 10/13/17
Our Fall Party was FANTASTIC! The kids enjoyed all the activities and loved having their families there to join in the fun. Many thanks to Mrs. Rice and Mrs. Caesar for planning it!
This coming week is going to be extremely busy. Not only is it our track out week, but it is Boosterthon and Spirit Week. We started off strong with Boosterthon and our pledges. This funding is so important to our school since it is our only fundraiser of the year. This money helps provide many things for our school and the kids plus 10% of what our very own class raises goes directly to OUR room. I use this money to purchase things like technology, manipulatives, and other hands on items that the kids use directly during instruction. Thank you so much for collecting these pledges to help our school and classroom. We are currently at $25 per lap and in 8th place for pledges in the school. Please continue to work on gathering pledges and help us raise more money and get higher in the standings for our school. Share your child's link on Social Media, get business involved, ask family and friends! The kids are loving earning the prizes and are excited to run on Thursday. Our Fun Run begins at 9:30. You are invited to come cheer your child and our class on. Again, I know how tight money can be and that we all work hard. I understand if pledging is difficult and appreciate all that you guys of done to support our school thus far. We could not do our jobs without you!
Spirit Week is lots of fun and I can't wait to participate and see the kids all dressed up too. See the Notes section for a detailed list of what each day is.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. Take Care!

Notes~

- October 18th: Wacky Wednesday (wacky hair)
- October 19th: Team Pride Thursday (sports day + Boosterthon)

- Track Out Day/Friday Folder- Track out day is Friday (which is also an Early Release Day). The kids will not bring home there Friday Folder so that it doesn't get lost during break. Instead look for a ziplock bag with their work inside. I will also send home the project detailed sheet again so that you can work ahead on it during break if you want to.
- Boosterthon/Pledges- Please continue to ask family, friends, and business to sponsor your child with pledges. The 10% that goes directly to our classroom helps me with supplies that your children use.
- Project- This is one of my most favorite activities that the kids participate in all year. Your child's project helps us travel the world and learn about different cultures. Your child will have his/her very own passport as we travel and share these projects. I've had some very creative projects in the pasts, from large letters, postcards, suitcases with info, Green Screen videos, Podcasts, Youtube presentations, Glogs, etc. I love the creativity that goes into these projects that give the students a true view of the countries we visit. These projects are great or family time and strongly urge you all to participate together as you research and put these together. It truly provides the kids with a global perspective and what's out there in this big world. The kids will be gathering some info to help them with this project this week. Your child can bring in food from their country, but it does have to be store bought and not made at home. We will play the games from these countries too; which is always fun! I can't wait to see the creativity that is put into these and for the kids to share! It's going to be AWESOME!!!
