Update 9/17/14

Happy Wednesday! We have been working extremely hard this week. We are done with assessments and have jumped into our math core and started literacy centers. While continuing on with writing our letters, please practice letter formation at home. The faster they know how to write their letters, the better writers they will become in our Writer's Workshops during the year.

A few important reminders:

1.) Again, no homework this week. We are still building our class routines, so focus on spending time reading together at home tonight. 

2.) I received almost everyone's poetry binder signed on Monday! Amazing turn-out. Remember to sign on the back of the most recent poem. They get a sticker each time they return a signed binder.

3.) The coupon book sale ends on September 22nd. Please send back the packets, even if you didn't do the sale. If we don't get the coupon book inside the envelope back, you will get charged for it. ($20) If you have questions, contact bitterrootpta@hotmail.com

4.) Saturday Live is coming up! We are asking each student to bring in 2 bags of non-chocolate candy or $4.00 to help with the Bitterroot Candy Shack. Send it in their backpacks and I will collect. If you are interested in helping out at the booth, contact Laura.

5.) Half Day, Thursday, September 25th, 2014. There is a sack lunch sheet in the folders. Please put student's name, my name, and circle which account you fall under. ( full, reduced, or free)

6.) Scholastic book order went home today. It is due October, 3rd, 2014.
