A Few More Reminders

Parents and Students,

As the week has progressed, a few reminders have come up that I'd like to draw your attention to:

1. Scholastic book order forms went out this week.  If your student decides to purchase a book, please return the order form and attached check/money order by next Friday 8/27/10.
2. We began our Fire Safety health unit today.  Each student received a Fire Safety booklet as part of the unit of study.  Students will be taking these booklets home over the next few days but will need to complete the booklet to return to school by next Thursday 8/26/10.  Students are responsible for completing the book prior to our trip to the fire safety village. I will also put reminders on our agenda next week.
3. Early release is next Wednesday, 8/25/10.  Student dismissal will be at 12:20 that day.
4. Our field trip to the fire safety village is next Friday, 8/27/10.  We will be taking school sack lunches and eating at the facility before our return.  Please make sure you have taken care of the cost of the $1.60 school lunch.  If your child plans on bringing a lunch from home, please make sure that his/her lunch account also has at least $1.60 in it to cover the cost of a lunch just in case your child forgets it that day.  Please make sure that your child dresses in comfortable clothing that allows for alot of movement.  Students should wear athletic shoes, and girls with long hair should preferably wear their hair up and out of their eyes.  Thanks for your help with this!
5. Our Boosterthon kicks off this Friday.  This AMAZING fund raiser for our school encourages healthy exercise and fund raising that directly benefits our class!  Check with your child for details and papers to come home next week about the Boosterthon.

Finally, don't forget we have 2 tests coming up:

Math- Chp. 1 Place Value test on 8/24/10 (Tuesday).  Students should review Chapter 1 in their book or the electronic textbook.

Social Studies- Map skills test.  Please refer to last week's blog for some tips on what to study.  We are hard at work this week adding several organizers to our Social Studies spiral notebook.  Students are welcome to take them home to begin studying, but please return them daily so that we can add new material from lessons.
