Thank you for reading all of my posts this past couple of weeks. I know I’ve been asking a lot of you and I appreciate your support for our class and your AMAZING kids! Please read the following announcements and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

School Supply Collection: We have books, notebooks, and school supplies coming in and we really appreciate it.  We have talked as a class and do feel we are so lucky compared to others who are in need.  We love that we can help them.

Cool Whip Lids:  We need 22 Cool Whip Lids.  These will be used for a December surprise. 

Bookfair Starts Monday!  All books purchased will help purchase new books for our library.  Please remind your child that they are NOT to ask other children to buy them items from book fair, and remind your student that if someone asks them to purchase something for them, it’s OK to say, “Please ask your parents”.  It’s hard for kids to tell their friends no and we need to teach them it’s OK to do. 

We are still collecting Boxtops, Soup Labels (they need to have the bar code attached), and Tyson Chicken labels.  We would LOVE to win another dress down day!

Classroom Note:  We are working hard on writing and answering questions in complete sentences.  Please encourage this at home as well.  Studies have shown that children who can restate the question in their answer prove to increase their vocabulary skills, improve their writing skills and improve their overall scores. 

Also, we’re starting multiplication so if you have a chance, getting multiplication cards from the dollar store is a great way to help your child practice.
