Have I ever told you how much I LOVE your kids?!!  Because I do!  I was so proud of them today!  They were so well behaved (some other schools weren’t as awesome as us…) and they were such grown up fourth graders going to the theater.  Everyone looked so handsome/beautiful all dressed up!  I hope everyone had as great of a time as I did.  I know I heard a lot of positive things coming from your kids!!  Don’t forget to ask them to explain it to you!  It was a great day!  Have a GREAT weekend!!

Just a quick reminder that our Library time has been moved to Thursday, so don’t forget your library books tomorrow!! 

Our Read A Thon is also tomorrow.  Don’t forget something to read!  (It’s kind of the important piece to the READ a thon) 🙂   If you haven’t turned in your pledge sheets, send them tomorrow!  🙂

Last thing:  Don’t forget our Field Trip is on Friday.  If you could donate $4 to cover the bus, that would be FABULOUS!!  Turn your money into the office.  🙂

Hey there fabulous parents…if anyone has volunteer hours to fill…you are more than welcome to come in and change our hallway bulletin board (this week or next week), or I have a whole lot of books in my classroom library that I have been working on leveling.  If anyone would like to come in and do this…you would be my hero!  😉  

Let me know!  

This week we will have our Read a Thon (school wide project) and our field trip! Its is also early out day on Friday!

If you haven’t turned in the bright green papers for the Read a Thon, please do so ASAP. We will be having our Read a Thon on Thursday from 9:30-10:30. We will also be moving library from Friday to Thursday, due to our field trip–don’t forget to bring in those library books!! 🙂

Friday’s Field Trip: We are asking students to wear their best dress to go to the theater. This means girls should wear skirts or dresses and boys should wear ties. If you don’t have best dress, or just really don’t want to wear that–the other option is navy blue uniform pants with a uniform white shirt.
We will be leaving at 8:35–Please make sure you are on time, or you will be left behind. 🙁 Students do NOT need to bring a back pack that day to school. All they need is their lunch (or they can have school lunch) and their coat. We will be walking a little ways to get to the theater…so please make sure they have a coat. We will come back and have lunch and an activity in the classroom, at around noon.

There is A LOT of missing work out there!! Please double check that it all gets turned in by Friday, or they will become zeros. 🙁

Happy Monday!!

If anyone would like to donate some thin expo markers to the class…it would be GREATLY appreciated!  We do a lot on whiteboards for math…and we have run out of the supply brought in at the beginning of the year.  Thanks a million!!

Bright green Read-a-thon papers have been sent home!  

These sponsor sheets (without money)  need to be returned to our class by January 27th at the latest.  If you bring the sponsor sheet back in time, you will receive a coupon to collect a charm.  The coupon will be sent home, along with your sponsor sheet, on 1/31.  Students will need to collect money and return the sponsor sheet and money to the school on February 5th.

The student who collects the most money will win a Kindle Fire!  Our goal is to raise $7,000, which is only $10 of pledges per student.  

On Read-A-Thon Day, (We will be doing this on Thursday, January 30th) students will be reading for an hour during literacy. (We will have library on Thursday right before the Read A Thon, so it will work out perfectly!)  Students can bring in a blanket or a pillow to be comfortable while they read!  🙂

The Student Council is sponsoring Quest Academy’s “Souper Bowl” canned food drive!

It started on Thursday, and all students may bring in canned foods and place them under the team logo that they would like to win the “Super Bowl.”  

We will announce Quest’s “Souper Bowl” winner later in February.  The real winners will be the needy individuals that will benefit as a result of Quest Academy’s generous donation to the food bank! 

Please help by participating… and show some spirit for your favorite team!

Mrs. Henry shared this with us…I LOVED the message and wanted to pass it on!  Enjoy!!
