Last full week of October

First I want to say thank you to everyone who made their parent teacher conferences.  This is very important for both your child and myself.  I had several very good conversations with you, and appreciate everything you are doing at home to make your child successful.

This week is red ribbon week. During red ribbon week we promote being drug free.  It also doubles as a type of spirit week.

Monday: Wear Team Apparel
Tuesday: Wear red, white, and/or blue
Wednesday: wear Garfield apparel
Thursday: wear tennis shoes
Friday: wear your favorite clothes.  (it is also our jammie party day, so you could wear your favorite jammies)

Our students were able to earn enough party points to get their class party.  We will have a game/extra recess/pajama party on Friday.  If your child has had 3 or more strikes, (4 tally days), they do not get to participate in the class point party.  The couple of students who do not get to participate in the class party will have work that they can catch up on and other things to do outside of our room. Students may wear their pajamas and bring a game to play.  I will lock up any personal player devices (Nintendo DS, PSP, gameboy, iPod touch, etc) in my cabinet so it will not be stolen out of lockers.  They also have the option of bringing a board game to play.  Any games brought to school must be rated E for everyone or 10 and up.

Friday afternoon at 2:45 is our Harvest party.  You are welcome to attend and hang out.  Jessica Slocum is the room mom.  If you have any questions please email her at jslocum30@gmail.com  I believe she is reminding everyone what they signed up to send with their child/bring.  I will also include it here.

Napkins: Shane Gibbs
Plates: Jamie Walters
Salty Snack: Jamie Keiter and Shelly Mason
Healthy Snack: Shelly Frank and Rachel Smith
Sweet Snack: Marilyn Grube and Tina Edwards
Volunteers that have signed up to be in the room for sure are Leslie Miller, Shelly Mason, Angela Roberts, and Jessica Slocum.  Others are welcome to come in as well.

Spelling Test is also on Friday.  No one passed the pretest so everyone has to take the test on Friday. The nature of this weeks list does not allow for me to put them on spelling city.  Spelling city does not recognize the words that are really 2 separate words.
