Fall

With fall here and winter approaching temperatures are dropping. Please make sure your students have the proper clothing and shoes to wear outside. We have been fortunate to not have many students out with colds this past quarter.

Thank You

Thank you to RF and TP for the creative faces on window painted pumpkins. Also for a very spooky bulliten board in the hall.

October News Letter

Stuck on Good Behavior
The class has been showing such good behavior, The month of Sept. they have managed to fill up both arms and are working on filling the head. They seem to be following directions and working hard on making good choices and demonstrating good behavior in the classroom.
Right now when we get all assingments in on time we get 5min of extra recess.


Frog Folders
The Frog Folders are looking good. Everyone has been taking them home. I have had several parents writing notes to me.



PTO Carnival
The PTO is sponsoring a carnival November 3rd. Each class is responsible for creating a booth. I have chosen to do our classroom as a spook- house. I’m open to any ideas on how to make our classroom scary and fun. I’m also going to be sending home a list of items to donate and asking for times to volunteer. I would appreciate all the help we can get!



King and Queen?
We are starting early in collecting pennies. Each penny represents one vote. The 5th-8th grade is in one division. Half the money raised for our class representatives will go to the PTO and the other half directly to our class to help provide for books and other materials. The class representatives with the most coins wins the title king and queen. Our class took a vote and A.N. and K.E. will represent our class.

Congratulations
