Weekly Update 08/30/13


Important Announcements:

*We have started our geography unit in Social Studies.  As you are visiting places in Brownsburg (restaurants, stores, neighborhoods, etc.), can you please take your child’s picture in front of them and send them to me electronically?  We will be using these pictures during our geography unit.  Thanks so much! 

*Monday, September 2nd, 2013, is Labor Day.  There will be no school.  However, you can help raise money for the school by going to Orange Leaf in Brownsburg on September 2nd from 12 noon – 10:00 p.m.  Yummy frozen yogurt and raising money for DT?  Sounds like a win-win! 

*Thursday, September 5th, 2013, will be the PTSG meeting at 6:30 p.m. 

*Mr. Sinclair is in charge of the All Pro Dads program at our school.  The first meeting will take place on Friday, September 6th.  If you would like to RSVP or want more information, check out this website: http://www.allprodad.com/3634

*There is no school on Monday, but we are still going to have our dictation test on Thursday and spelling and reading tests on Friday. 

*I believe in building relationships with the children both inside my classroom and outside the classroom.  If your child participates in any extracurricular activities (sports, dance, theater, etc.), or has any other events that he/she would like to invite me to, please let me know, and I will do my best to come! 

*Friday, September 20th will be our annual Dog Jog event!  More information will be coming soon!
