Suggestion:)

Dear Parents,


If Santa needs stocken stuffer ideas, you might want to let him know that many students need to replenish their school supply box:) Several students need markers, hightlighters, clear tape etc.

Your friendly BPES elf!

Just a quick reminder...

Viewing of the Taste of Va program starts at 12:15 on Fri. Parents are welcome and should come to the classroon about 12. The party will follow.

We are so excited to announce the Taste of Va. videos will be ready next week. I am planning a “World Premier"showing (complete with a red carpet) in my classroom for parents and students. This will take place after lunch on Friday, Dec. the 18th. At 12:15. Immediately following the viewing, we will start our Holiday party. What a fun day that will be.

I have been trying to figure out the best way to do both Teacher Ease and my class blog.  What I think I will do for the rest of the year is to send a Teacher Ease notice that a new post has been made to the blog.  That way you will know when to check it.  I will try to post each Tue. or there about.  Continue to send me email addresses for Teacher Ease and I will set it up for you.  There has been lots of problems with Teacher Ease and we are slowly getting them worked out.  In the Tues. packet is information about our winter party.  Do not forget we will be making ornaments Dec. 9th from 1-2.  All parents welcome,  Reading O students will meet Dec. 10.  SS race 2 test Dec. 16th and Dec. AR test due by the 18th.  Also due by the 18th is the Patrick Henry speech.  Interims will go home on the 9th. Whee.........."that's all folks!"

Flashcard Maker

Here is a great site where students can make their own flashcards from their study guides.

Dec. 5th 2009

Just a quick update.  As you know, Snapshot has gone away.  Hanover teachers are now using Teacher Ease for Weekly updates. Grades are still on Engrade. If you have not signed up for this service, please email me the email address you would like to use.    Ornament Making day will be Dec. 9th from 1-2.  Parents are welcome.    I also need each student to bring in a shoe box to take their ornaments home in.  Our holiday party will be Dec. 18th.  Our homeroom moms have a great party planned and more information will be coming home next week.  Remind your child to always have their AR book with them.  They have a little free time each day to read at school and then they need to take it home with them to read a little each night.  Dec.  AR test needs to be taken by Dec 18.   Patrick Henry's speech is also due to be said by Dec. 18th .  I encourage the students not to put things off until the last day.
