Discipline Plan

I am changing up our discipline plan just a little.  First, instead of the yellow card meaning 5 minutes off of snack it will mean "teacher's choice."  This could still be 5 minutes off of snack, silent lunch, etc.  Also, if a student's card has stayed on green all week we will have a Friday surprise.  I will need your help with this.  I am going to assign each of you to a week to do Friday surprises.  Everyone will do 2 weeks. If there are extra weeks, I will bring the Friday surprise for those.  Friday surprises can be anything, a pencil, popsicle, small toy, etc.  Pretty much anything from the Dollar Tree would be fine.  We have 5 boys and 11 girls. Any extras will be placed in our treasure chest. I will do this Friday's surprise.  Thank you for your help with this.    

Signed Papers

Please make sure to look at the Spelling Test in the signed paper folder.  Last week, I did not send the trial test home on Thursday.  If your child did not make a 100 they may retake that test on Monday.

Science

I have had several questions about the Science test.  I took it off of the Homework page, but I did not post here.  We will wait and take the test on Tuesday.  Due to Grandparent's Day practice, we have not been able to go over the chapter as much as I would like before the test.

Grandparent's Day

We will wear our new field trip shirts for Grandparent's Day.  If you did not purchase one, any red Pike shirt will be fine.

PTO BBQ Sale

The PLAS PTO is having a BBQ Fundraiser on October 11th at the school.  They need volunteers to help fix, hand out, and deliver plates that day.  They will need people from 9:30 to 2.  If you, or someone you know, is able to help us that day, please let me or Cornelia Sanders know.  They can work people in shifts or all day, depending on how much time you can commit.

Grandparents' Day

Grandparents' Day will begin at 10:00 in the cafetorium.

BBQ Plate Fundraiser

The PTO is hosting the BBQ plate fundraiser again this year.  All of the money raised will go towards purchasing Mimios and projectors for classrooms.  Each child is asked to sell at least 2 tickets.  If you need more tickets they can be picked up from the office, or send me a note and I can get some for you.  Please return the tickets in the envelope provided no later than Friday, October 4.  BBQ plates can be picked up on Friday, October 11 from 10:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the school.  

Please help with this fundraiser.We are so excited about the Mimios.  With our new reading series, they will be an invaluable tool.  Thank you so much to the PTO for hosting this fundraiser!

Field Trip

Don't forget field trip money is due TOMORROW. If I don't have yours please send it.  We want to be sure to get good seats, so we have to send it in early.

Grandparents' Day

There are a few sheets coming home today about Grandparents' Day.  One of the sheets says to return the interview sheet by Monday, but I need it by this Friday.  They decided we will begin practice then.  Please fill out both sheets and return them no later than Friday, September 20. I also need to know if your child will be checking out after Grandparents' Day.  Please send me a note if they will be checking out.

Also, your child needs to bring a large flat rock by next Tuesday.  They need one for each grandfather they will have attending. We will be making paper weights with the rocks.  They need to be large enough for your child to decorate.

Science Test

We will take our science test on Thursday instead of Wednesday.

Muffins with Mom

Muffins with Mom will be Friday morning in the cafetorium.

Reading

We have switched to our new reading series.  We are still waiting on our workbooks and teacher's editions to come in.  This week's tests will be teacher made.  They will be similar to the tests we have been taking all year.  There will be a vocabulary test and comprehension test on Wednesday.  The comprehension test will be on the story in the big book, "Help! A Story of Friendship."  There is also a smaller book to accompany this series called the Reading/Writing Workshop.  When the rest of our books come in, I will know more information.

On Thursday, we will wear Homecoming t-shirts.  On Friday, we will wear red, white, and blue. Rock and Roll costume will be worn Thursday night to the parade.
