Open House is Wednesday Night!!!!

  Yes, it's here already!! Open House is on Wednesday, August 31st from 6-8p.m. I am anxious to get to know all of you better. Please come and let your child show you around our room. We will have their work on display and a sign up sheet for upcoming parent-teacher conferences.I won't have time to tell you how great your student is doing that night, so please sign up for a future visit. Also, the school is having a hair-cut fund raiser. You can get your hair cut for a donation! Great deal!
  Please remind your child to turn in their homework folder on Fridays with their homework in it! We are still learning procedures, so reminders are necessary.
  Mark your calendar for our first field trip of the year. We will be going to Buckalew Farms(www.buckalewfarms.com) on October 24th. That is a Monday. Parents  are welcome to come if they provide their own transportation. More info will be coming in October.
   Can  you believe it's almost September? I can't. Time is flying by. Have a super week!!

Entertainment Books!

Entertainment Books are coming home tomorrow!! Please check them out. They are worth way more than their price and the benefit to the school is incredible. This is our most important fund raiser. If we can get every student in our class to purchase or sell just one Entertainment Book, we will be having a fantastic Eeegee party!
I will be giving every student who sells one book a free homework pass. Seriously, there are more savings on-line for the Entertainment book-it's awesome!!!!Participate if you can!

Reading Buddies!!

    The most exciting thing we did this week was our Reading Buddy activity with Miss Beebe's 1st grade class.  Everyone had a buddy and read to each other. It was the sweetest sound ever!! Also exciting was the practice fire drill we had. Our class did an awesome job. Everyone remained calm and quiet and walked out of the building safely. Mr. Dye said we did great!  We enjoyed a full week of special classes. We went to P.E., Library and enjoyed our new Art teacher coming to our class.  This week we will meet Ms. Phillips, our counselor, who will teach us about character! Check all of the upcoming dates for your calendar. Have a great week!
