Milk Money

Hello Parents,

It has come to my attention that some of our students are NOT spending their milk money on milk. A concerned parent let me know that several of the students were talking about how they keep their milk money instead of buying milk. She even witnessed a few students pull the money out of their pockets and then put it back in to their pockets.

Students are also using money to purchase classroom tickets. These tickets are used for our class store and must be earned. They can not be bought from another student. Truthfully, the money spent on the tickets far surpasses the value of the ticket.

I don’t know who the students are and I thought it was a situation better handled at home since I am not in the lunch room. It is my understanding that the lunch people give students a receipt after paying for the milk. If it is a concern for you this is one way to check that the milk money is buying milk.

I love being a third grade teacher because this is the year that students are figuring out the world. I have a smart group of kids who have figured out how to financially benefit from the milk program. 🙂

Have a great weekend.

Hopefully, I can make it because it sounds like lots of fun.

No math tonight. I know this makes you really sad.

Quest Technology Fundraiser. Check out the link for information about Quest’s technology fundraiser. This looks like a great opportunity to update your family picture, help out Quest, and take care of  Christmas for the grandparents. I have even talked my hubby into having our pictures done.

Have a great night everyone.

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Halloween boy-mummy-costume is right around the corner. Next Thursday will be all kinds of fun in our school and classroom. Most of our class has earned their Halloween party and the few left are getting closer everyday. We are going to have a lot of FUN!! I’m still looking for a couple of volunteers to help with all the madness. If you are feeling up to a screaming good time please let me know. 🙂

Homework Tonight:
One small note about homework. Please, please, please let me know if you and your child are having a hard time completing assignments. Homework should not take more than 30 minutes and should not be a battle of frustration. Students should be practicing skills not learning the skill. If you are having one of those nights please email me. I promise it helps me to better understand what I need to cover in class. 

Read: Free Choice, read for as many minutes as you would like. Please log reading minutes.

Word Work: Work on your spelling tic-tac-toe

Math: Complete the online assignment. Remember at the end of the assignment to click “Check It” after you click “check it” it will show you your results and also provide you a place to email me your work. My email address is khutchinson@questac.org Click the link here.
