EAR BUDS
We have the WONDERFUL opportunity to use the IPADS in our classroom daily. The problem being is that we have 23 IPADS that often have sound (whether an article is being read to the students, a math app is being play, etc.) and it is interrupting the others concentration. I am asking that each student bring in a pair of ear buds for their own use. I will keep them in their own plastic baggie and return them at the end of the year. I am asking these be here by Wednesday. If you do not have a pair and are unable to get a pair, please let me know.
Thank you for your help!

OCTOBER BOOK REPORT
Mackinac Raffle Tickets
Ticket sales end on Friday, October 25. Please send in all UNSOLD tickets, and ALL ticket stubs with money on or by this date. Reminder: SELL, SELL, SELL for a possibility for your child to win a trip to Mackinac. We ask that you allow a 24 hour window for us to get you additional tickets. It has been a pretty good pace so far, but once the end is near, I am sure they will be pouring in.We do want you to get your tickets and sell, but we also have to make sure we are doing our #1 job, and that is teaching:) So, just a suggestion, please don't send in a request on the 24th and expect it to be filled that day. Thank you for your understanding.
Drawing for prizes is Nov. 1 at 3:00 p.m. at Keicher.
