The Union Elementary Jog-a-Thon is on Wednesday, September 27th! There are special prize opportunities for students who return their pledges before JAT day. On Wednesday, please remind your fourth grader to bring a labeled water bottle, wear gym shoes and to dress for the weather (it could still be hot). We will give each child his or her JAT t-shirt that morning to wear during the event.

Volunteer Schedule
I am in need of some help preparing materials and games for the kids to play. If you are interested in doing so, please sign up below. Tuesday and Thursdays are busy in our work room, so I did not include those days. Also, I did not include times, so just let me know the times that work for you. If there is another time that does work in your schedule, just shoot me an email and I'll see if it will work. I am so appreciative of your time and help.

Spelling
We took our first spelling check-in today. We will typically do them each Friday. Be sure to look at your child's list that came home today. It is helpful if they study for a short bit at home each night. If a word is written in pen, this is a word they missed from the prior list that still needs some work. Overall, the class did really well! I'm proud of them.
