Weekly Update 01-31-15



Important Announcements:

*Congratulations to Joey!  Joey leveled up on the Super Improver Wall in the classroom.  In order to level up, a child has to earn ten stickers for showing improvement academically and behaviorally.  Way to go, Joey! 

*Next week our school is having a food drive to benefit Gleaners Food Bank. Please consider donating! 

*I will be sending home a class list next week so if your child is planning on passing out valentines, he/she will have the class list.  Please make sure that if your child passes out valentines that they are school appropriate and that your child has enough for all of the children in our class.  You can start sending valentines in to be passed out the week of February 9th.  Your child will bring his/her valentines home on Friday, February 13th. 

*Our Winter Carnival (formally Spring Fling) will take place on Friday, February 27th from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.  Our class basket this year is a scrapbooking theme.  If you would like to donate anything for our class basket, please send in donations no later than Friday, February 20th. 

*Yesterday I sent home yearbook order envelopes.  If you are interested in ordering a yearbook or class composite picture (or both!) please fill out the envelope and return it to school with payment by Friday, February 27th. 

*Mrs. Hopkins has scheduled Come Play with Me for our class on Thursday, February 26th from 2:10 – 2:55 p.m.  Wear some comfy clothes and plan on having fun with your child during his/her P.E. class! 

*Continue to work on addition and subtraction math facts.  Make sure to use those fact triangles that were sent home, or you can practice for free online at www.xtramath.org. 

*If anyone is able to come in and volunteer next week, send me an e-mail and let me know what day and time works best for you!  Thanks! 

*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! 

*The blog will also be updated with this information as well so if you need to see it again visit http://misswhisman.blogspot.com .
