Final chance for reading logs for the ice cream party!  This will happen at our Halloween party.  This is your last chance to get those minutes turned in.  Here is that reading log again.  Remember, this reading log goes towards the ice cream reward.  The other is turned in to me as homework. After this week, it will be back to just one.  Whew!

It is a short week!  The only thing we will do for homework this week will be the reading logs.  Remember, the ice cream reading log must be done as well to go towards the ice cream party.  So print both and get them filled out.

Please make sure you filled out the permission form.  I am missing a lot of names on there and the students may not have the ice cream without it.
Here it is again:

Don’t Forget!!  Your reading minutes can also go towards the ice cream challenge!  Print the following form.  I know it seems silly to fill out another one, but this form is collected separately and specifically for the ice cream challenge.  This only lasts 4 more weeks.  For more information.  Refer to my blog post by scrolling down to the post with the Ice Cream sundae graphic.  Reading-Log

I’d also like to thank our fabulous chaperones who were there to help out at the field trip.  Please let me know what you thought about Green Acres Farm.  We have used Black Island Farms in previous years and had decided to give this a try.  Any comments can be emailed to me at bzimmerman@questac.org.

We really couldn’t do all we do without our parent volunteers.  We have two parents who handle the class store every Friday and we are so grateful for their service!

We also have a few parents helping out in the morning to read with students and to work on specific skills.  We just started utilizing these volunteers last week and I am really excited about the students getting that extra help.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!  

This week we will have our Ice Cream party as a reward for our fundraiser sales.  Please make sure you have filled out the permission form on my blog.  Students may not participate without permission.

Thanks for all you do,
Mrs. Zimm
