Important Announcements:
*I sent out an e-mail asking your preference for classroom information
to be sent to you. You overwhelmingly
picked e-mail. However, I had some great
reasons presented to me for keeping the blog.
Those reasons were so convincing (and I am a people pleaser) so I will
be doing BOTH. I will send the
information in a weekly e-mail, but I will update the blog as well so that you
can refer back to it as needed.
*Ethan celebrated his birthday on Sunday, September 8,
2013. Happy Birthday, Ethan!
*Next week I will be sending home parent/teacher conference
sign ups for the families that I do not have a conference scheduled for
already. Please send those back as soon
as possible!
*Spelling words went home today in the Family Times
newsletter printed on yellow paper. They
always go home the Friday before so that your child has a week to study
them. The words can be found under Day
4, and they are highlighted. The words
for next week are: before, born, chore, corn, farm, hard, horse, more, part,
porch, score, and smart.
*Information about our Dog Jog event came home with your
child today. Our class will be doing our
portion of the Dog Jog from 12:45 – 1:15.
Because of Dog Jog, we will have a shortened special schedule held at a
different time. We will have specials on
Friday from 10:55 – 11:20. Dog Jog is
our biggest fundraiser and all money raised directly benefits Delaware Trail
and our class. Thank you in advance for
your participation in our fundraising efforts!

event? If so, please click on this link
and fill out the online form: www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C0C4FAEAC23A3FA7-dogjog/2137608
*Please
see attached flier on the parent e-mail for information about a special
luncheon on Dog Jog day.
*You
must have a background check on file in order to be on the track during Dog
Jog. If we do not have one on file,
please fill out the form immediately! If
you do not have a background check on file, you are still more than welcome to
watch Dog Jog from the bleachers.
*Brownsburg
Education Foundation (BEF) is currently holding its annual Yankee Candle
sale. This fundraiser also directly
benefits the Brownsburg Community Schools, and I have been able to write
several grants throughout my years of teaching that BEF has funded. I encourage you to participate in this
fundraiser if you can.
*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!
