We're in October Already!

Can't believe October is already here!

As of right now, there is not a lot happening this week (changes may occur, please stay posted).

Interims (a mid-way report card) go home on Wednesday.  Please review the progress report with your child and have it signed and returned to me NO LATER THAN THIS FRIDAY!!!  We are a bit behind in a couple of subjects, but will be caught up shortly.  Grades are being posted as soon as the student takes an assessment or completes an assignment.  I like to provide the child and parent with immediate feedback. 

This week's challenge is "Guess."  On Friday, the class will observe a large jar full of candy.  Each group will guess how many pieces of candy they predict is in the jar.  The group that is the closet will win points for their group, and will receive ALL the candy inside the jar.

There will also be Friday Frenzy again this week, for the top 16 students this week.  Grades and Behavior are a must, and they must start working hard on Monday, not on Thursday when the tickets go home.  I would like to see some new faces this week.  Remember that Friday Frenzy ends at 5:00 - we almost had a child get their first "X" this week (their ride came at 5:13...cutting it close).

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the school is collecting Pink Yoplait Lids.  The class with the most lids at the end of the month...WINS!!!  Every Friday will be Pink Fridays as well.  By next Friday, I want the entire class to dress-up in PINK!!!

Lastly, amazing job to all the Mystery Readers thus far (please sign-up).  The students and myself are enjoying it very much and always look forward to Friday afternoons to see who's going to walk through the door and read us a story.  Very creative and intriguing approaches to sharing your books - thanks!!!

Let's have a great week! :)
