Your class can pick up clothing however and whenever they like. You can report back, or not. We will have two random visual inspections during the week (one of which will be at the tail end of the school day on Friday). After four weeks, a winner will be selected and awarded a classroom popsicle party.
Things to do depending on how much time you have:
Pick up clothes in lower yard and hang on garden fence.
Pick up clothes in upper yard and hang in the auditorium
Hang all clothes up in the auditorium.
Put all "little stuff" (lunches, books, headbands, scarves, hats) in the blue bin next to the rack.
Extra - zip/button up sweaters and jackets
More Extra - arrange by color (great for those looking for a "green sweater")
Even More Extra - create a "Labeled" tag(s) that demarks a section on the rack. If your team finds labeled clothes, they can hang them in the labeled area of the rack.
Personnel Committee
Still No Candy
We will be upholding our school policy of no candy before, during, and after Halloween. Students should not bring candy in their lunches the weeks after Halloween.
Moving Hearts
Don't Forget your Hall Stars
Thank you to Ms. Sullivan who has been going around and positively reinforcing other people's classrooms, let's all do this!
Mr. Wolfe said his students have been "doing the math" on how many days it will take them to earn their incentive by figuring out how many times they come in and out of the building.
Don't forget to write in to your Hall Star chart what your class is trying to earn so that we can all celebrate with you.
Let me know when your class earns their 10 stars and I will announce over the PA system.
Fudge Performances Needed!
Dance? Poem?
Ms. Morgan will be finalizing the line up for the Fudge Farewell show this week. Please let her know what your class will be doing!
