Important Reminders!
Here are a few reminders for next week:
- In Friday Folders is information about our Bear Share Fun Run!!! This is our BIGGEST and ONLY fundraiser of the year!! We use this to fund technology and book purchases for our classrooms. Instead of having kids sell candy, wrapping paper, etc, we have them collect straight donations for our school. We celebrate all of these collected donations by having a big Fun Run on September 16th. You can read about all the prizes and incentives in the packet! Start collecting those donations now!! Kids can also make a 30-second video clip and submit it to our school for us to show on morning announcements... and for them to send to friends and family to get donations. Information about that is also in the packet.

- Thank you so much for coming to Curriculum Night! If you were unable to attend, the information is being sent home in Friday folders today- including a card with your child's clog-in information for eClass and Reading Eggs. If you have additional questions, please e-mail me!
- Remember to practice logging on to our eClass page to start accessing all the important information that is posted... see below for directions!
- In Friday folders is an address and phone number practice sheet. If this sheet works for you, please have them practice this information (or use any way you'd like!). When they know it, they can bring the sheet in anytime this year, tell me their phone number and address, and they will get a prize! =)
- Our ABC Bootcamp fun continues next week with letters F-J
