All for Books
During the week of November 5th - November 9th, there will be a Classroom Competition Coin Drive to raise money for the Scholastic "ALL FOR BOOKS" program. With this program, Scholastic will match the monetary amount we collect with a donation of up to one million books to non-profit organizations dedicated to helping children in need. In addition, each teacher will get to decide how to use the money their classroom raises. This year, we are offering teachers the option to purchase books for their classroom or donate some/all of their money to a charity (to be determined). So let's say a classroom collects $100. The teacher determines how to spend their classroom money and Scholastic donates $100 worth of books to underprivileged families. It's a WIN-WIN situation! Also, the classroom that donates the most money will get a special gift!
In order to raise money for this great program and to make it more fun, we are having a Classroom Coin Drive Challenge which runs from Monday, November 5th through Friday, November 9th. Each day we will be collecting different coins (see below) but you may send in a donation of any denomination on any day.
Coin Drive Challenge
Monday, Nov. 5th - Send in your Pennies!
Tuesday, Nov. 6th - Send in those Nickels!
Wednesday, Nov. 7th - Dimes! Dimes! Dimes!
Thursday, Nov. 8th - How about some Quarters!
Friday, Nov. 9th - Dollar Day!!!!

Guidance Lessons for November
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Your child will complete the “Personal Safety” lesson soon. The lesson includes the following themes:
• Physical Safety and Respect
• Private Body Safety and Respect
• Safety Regarding Strangers and Others
• Internet Safety and Respect (5th grade)
At the end of each lesson, children will be encouraged to talk with family members and other adult caregivers about the concepts. Talking with your child about these topics can enhance his or her ability to avoid or deal with potentially harmful situations. Shared are some online resources to help guide these conversations.

Lost and Found!
Please take a look at the below items and let us know if you recognize any of them. As many of you are aware, we tend to accumulate A LOT of lost items throughout the year. We are trying to minimize this for the upcoming year. Each week we will send a picture of lost items for you to claim. If they are not claimed then we will ensure that they go to a donation center in our area. What is most helpful is if you label your child's clothing and school items. We can then easily identify the item and make sure that the lost item is found and hopefully also save you a trip to have to buy another one. Please label items such as jackets, sweatshirts, water bottles, and lunchboxes. Only two items in the Lost and Found were labelled!! As winter approaches please make sure that you label boots, snow pants, hats, and mittens. Black snow pants seem to be a favorite here at Rose Glen and so labeling them will ensure that everyone has there own black snow pants and that if a pair gets lost then we can ensure it gets to the right child. Thank you for your help with this and looking forward to year with minimal lost items :) Please email Cathe Sweet at csweet@waukesha.k12.wi.us if you recognize any of the items.
Lego League News
Cheer on your classmates at FIRST LEGO League!
We would like to invite everyone to attend one of the FLL robotics competitions or FLL Jr Expos to cheer on your classmates! If you are interested in participating next year, this is a great opportunity to see what FIRST LEGO League is all about.
FIRST LEGO League (our fourth and fifth grade students)
FLL teams build and program a LEGO Mindstorms robot to perform missions on a competition board, as well as research a real-world problem. This year's theme is "Into Orbit" and teams had to choose and research a health or safety concern for people living in space and provide a new solution for solving the problem. Teams compete at a regional event with other teams from the area.
During the morning portion of the competition, the teams will be meeting with judges to give their research presentation, show off their robot design, and demonstrate their knowledge of the core values. The afternoon is robot game time, where teams have two and a half minutes for their robot to perform as many missions as possible to earn points. Each team has three attempts at the robot game. Throughout the day, teams will have their robots and research on display in the pit area and are always excited to discuss their projects with anyone who is interested in learning more.
The Rose Glen Space Eagles will be competing Saturday, November 10 at Mukwonago High School (605 West Veterans Way, Mukwonago)
The Rose Glen Catstroids will be competing Sunday, November 11 at Marquette University High School (3401 W Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee)
FIRST LEGO League Jr. (our first through third grade students)
FLL Jr. teams build a LEGO model and display board that show what they have learned regarding their research topic. For this year's theme, "Mission Moon", students researched how to get water, air, and energy while living on the moon and built a model of a moon base showing how they would get and store what they needed to live.
Teams will meet with a panel of judges to show off their project and discuss what they've learned. Throughout the day, models and research will be on display in the pit area and teams love showing off what they've learned! There are also many other hands-on activities for all kids to participate in.
Shooting Stars will all be attending the expo on Sunday, November 18 at Madison College (1701 Wright St, Madison)
Space Unicorns will all be attending the expo on Saturday, December 8 Heritage Christian School inside Weatherstone Church (1500 S West Lane, New Berlin)
Rose Glen Rockets, Gravity Girls, and Cosmic Team will be attending the expo on Sunday, December 16 at Deer Creek Intermediate School (3680 S. Kinnickinnic Ave, St. Francis)

MY SCHOOL ANYWHERE - SCHOOL ONLINE DIRECTORY
Did you know that Rose Glen has an online family directory? Have you signed up yet? Having access to this directory is a great way for you to stay connected with other school families. It also is the way that you would get contact information for your child’s classmates, including information you would need for sending out birthday invitations via email or U.S. mail. (Please remember that unless your child is inviting the entire class, party invitations may not be distributed at school.)
Another important reason you may want to be included in the directory is to give your child the opportunity to be invited to birthday parties or other gatherings with classmates, since neither the teachers nor the office staff is able to share contact information with you. Hopefully you have already signed up for the family directory. If you have not, please take a few minutes to do so.
