Middle of October

Here's whats happening this week.

Wednesday is a 1:00 dismissal.

Please make sure your child is reviewing, studying, and completing their homework each night.  We are now well into the first nine-weeks and creeping the end.  More assessments and assignments are happening and grades are being strongly built.  

This weeks classroom challenge is PENNY WAR!  Each group will have a container on their table.  Groups are to bring in PENNIES (positive points) and bring in other coins (nickels, dimes, quarters) and dollars to donate to other groups (negative points).  At the end of the week I will count how many pennies (positive points) the group has donated and subtract it from how many coins and dollars (negative points) they were given from other groups.  The winning group is which group has the most positive points or least amount of negative points.  This challenge begins tomorrow and will end Friday.  All money raised will be donated to the classroom.  

There will be NO FRIDAY FRENZY this week due to Westside's Fall Festival.  Next Friday will be our first special Friday Frenzy - Friday FAMzy!  For any child that receives a ticket next Friday, their parents/guardians may attend (no brothers or sisters).  It will be parents vs. students next Friday.  Will your child be able to uphold their responsibility to earn a ticket?  Good luck!

After reading this, write the following code in your child's homework folder for a prize.
