No more FRIDAY FOLDERS!!
Hurray! There will be no more Friday Folders, but you can find most information in our weekly Smore' that goes out every Friday! We will be sending home PTA stuff and important notices Friday in students Green Take Home Folder. Hope this helps! -Thanks
Star Student
Please be on the look out next week for more information on Star Student! This is something the kids really enjoy!
Snacks/Water
Just a reminder, the students are allowed to bring a water bottle and snack to class each day. I would actually prefer they all have a water bottle so that they don't have to leave class to go get a drink, but please make sure it is just water. No flavored water or colored water please as we have new carpets and pillows in our room! :) Please make sure that they are having a healthy snack as well. NO PEANUTS! Somethin fast and quick like goldfish, pretzels, crackers, etc.
Volunteers
We love to utilize volunteers in the classroom and appreciate each and every one of you that are able to do this! Please review the volunteer handbook and complete the background check if you would like to volunteer this year. http://www.gcisd-k12.org/page/474
Sprit Days!
We are excited to announce that every Friday will be Spirit Day! We can't wait to see the kids show their Bransford Texan pride by wearing a spirit shirt or red, white, and/or blue each Friday. GO TEXANS!
Sign up for PTA Please :)
Please, sign up for PTA if you have not already done so. We are trying to get 100% participation. Thank you to those who have already signed up!
HEADPHONES
This year we will be using technology more and more to help aid us in our learning. Please send a pair of headphones with your child, please send them in as soon as you can. (I've heard Five Below has some great sets for under $5!) Headphones work a lot better than earbuds. I believe they have them for $5 at Five and Below!
Thank you so much!
Technology Time
iPads
Our school is 1 to 1! Students received new iPads on Tuesday. Students will get to take home their new iPads soon!
Xtra Math
Students have started using the app called Xtra Math on their iPads to help them with their fact fluency. Their login for Xtra Math will soon be taped in their green folders.
Scribble Press App
Students loved creating their own stories on their iPad. They used an app called Scribble Press.

Mrs. Haley was our first Friday reader!
Every year I love having Friday readers. In the past, I have had some TCU football players, nurses, TCU cheerleaders and many parents come and read to the students. I would like to continue this tradition of having Friday readers. Please start looking at your schedule to see if you could be a Friday reader for our class! The kids really enjoyed having Haley in our class and hearing about how her and husband are about to leave for 2 years to teach English in Prague, Czech Republic. #whatanadventure
