Weekly Update

Whew... another week already gone?!? Where is the time going?
Thank you all for the wonderful donations for the Water Fun basket for Cougar Fun Fest... we had three boxes worth of stuff for the basket! Our fabulous PTA has already collected the items and will be putting the basket together. I can't wait to see all the baskets for raffle at Fun Fest next week!
Thank you for everybody that helped to cover books for the classroom library. I feel very blessed to have such wonderful caring helpers! Hopefully this will help our classroom library books hold up to the everyday wear and tear that comes with students loving to read!
ANOTHER big thank you to the parents that came in to help us get our Cooperation Flag ready. You ladies absolutely ROCKED! It was a quick and smooth process getting all 130ish Third Graders' hands painted and stamped on the flag. I will post a picture once it is hanging in the commons. It looks amazing!
If your child sold the Passport books, those are coming home today.
Fun Fest is Friday, October 3rd. Check your e-mail for a volunteer opportunity (sent out on Wednesday, I believe).
Please return Friday folders to school each Monday (or Tuesday if no school on Monday). Also, be sure to respond to your child in their Family Communication Journal.

NO SCHOOL on Monday!
We will have library check out and Media on Tuesday, PE on Wednesday, Music on Thursday, and Art on Friday.

See below for an update of our week from our student blogger: Morgan!

Dear Parents,

     

         This week was a really great week. We did some sience observations for our classroom ecosystem. We also started work on writing in daily 5 so know we can do read to self, read to partner, and work on writing (in work on writing we get to do school mail, free write, and story writing). This week we got our pass port books and I hope we got our total of pass port books so we can have a special party! We have read a lot of The Tale Of Despereaux by Kate Dicimillo and suprisly we haven’t used our Yacker Tracker witch is a stop light that can hear you making sounds and if you are too loud it makes a siren noise and you go to red. We also made work on writing posters to hang up on our Writer’s Way bored witch by the way has a lot of posters, we have 9 posters on it so far and when Miss. Baxter covers them we will have 2 posters and 1 blue piece of paper that shows how it should a letter look like. On September 25^{th 2014} we moved table spots. There is 1 group of 10 and 2 groups of 8. If you doughnated money for Change For Change THANK YOU it was do on September 26^th 2014  . In consiler we traced Louis (or Louie) and drew words that you want a friend to have and Eddie, Tess, and Connor cut it out and we named it Louie Jr. As you can see this week was really, really, really good!

Your Writer,

Morgan
