September 28th - October 2

Thank you so much to the parents that sent chocolate items to school for our silent auction baskets! We had a great basket full of delicious things.

Now that our IOWA test is over (YIPEE!) we will get back to our regular schedule this week. We will finish learning about different communities and begin learning about maps.

On Friday, October 2nd, we will have a breakfast party for those students that read every night during the month of September. The party will be in our classroom at 8:30 am. Stay tuned for invitations!

This week's word wall words are: community, country, to, two, too

We will be spending about an hour on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday taking this test. Please remember to help your child eat a nutritious breakfast, get plenty of sleep, and you may send a healthy snack with them to school.

Don't forget to send anything CHOCOLATE to school for our class auction basket! We will be taking donations until Tuesday September 22nd.

Last but not least, the RMES Carnival is on Friday September 25th! Hope to see you there!

Thank you for coming to your SEP appointment last week! It was great to meet you and start working together to have a wonderful school year! If you would like to volunteer in our class and did not sign up with me, call me at the school 656-3802! We would love to have you!

This week we will be taking some time each day to honor our country and especially those men and women that have served for us. Here's a run down for the week:

Tuesday- We will be writing a letter to someone that has served our country. President Obama will be addressing the students of our country at 10:00 am and we will be lucky to watch him speak.

Wednesday- Wear Red, White, and Blue! And don't forget to wear good shoes for P.E.!

Thursday- PICTURE DAY!!!! If you'd like, wear something that signifies America (sports, blue jeans, cowboys, etc) Breakfast party for students that returned their SIGNED reading calendars two weeks in a row! I will send a note home on Tuesday inviting those students... Come to our room at 8:30 am and enjoy some pancakes made by the best cook in town :)

Friday- Walk to school with your parents and enjoy our special flag ceremony in front of the school!
