Busy, busy, busy!

We have had a busy week and there are so many things I want to share! 

We have been working hard this week! Ask your students about onomatopoeia hooks and similes. We have been developing our writing to make it very interesting for our readers! In math we have been working on division and will be having a test on Monday. In health we studied the importance of sleep! Sudents then presented what they learned in the form of a skit. Thank you so much for your assistance in filling out our sleep journals. We were also privileged to have Ms. Fennwick teach a lesson on bullying. 

Next week is a full week of school! Please remind your child to complete his/her daily math and reading homework. Homework packets go home Monday and should be returned Friday. Students will also be attending the Young People's Concert on October 24th. A dollar donation to attend the Young People's Concert is greatly appreciated and your child may bring it anytime beforehand. 

College and career day is rapidly approaching. Please encourage your child to continue being safe, respectful, and responsible so he/she can attend the non-referral celebration. This months party is being hosted by me and I would LOVE some parent help! I would like to do an activity related to fall, possible have students make "pumpkin pie" in a bag. Please get in touch with me if you can help with this! 

The last thing I wanted to share is that I am looking to purchase a used iPad for instructional use in our classroom. The PTO has generously donated $200 for me to use in our room and I would like to put that towards an iPad. I have priced them on eBay and we are going to need at least seventy more dollars and then a case and stylist purchased as well. If anyone has any fundraising ideas, (maybe a pop can drive?) or is willing to donate/help with this it would be greatly appreciated! 

This weeks secret word is sleep. Thank you for all that you do!
