Oct. dates

I’m very excited to tell you about another trash opportunity to help out in the classrooms. Sunny Delight (a.k.a. Sunny D) drinks are giving away free books. It’s called the SunnyD Book Spree, and the program will donate 20 books to every classroom that sends in 20 SunnyD UPC labels. The program will also award hundreds of books to the ten schools that collect the most labels.

One week down!

Teacher Ease letters will be in Tues. packets. These letters will explain how to sign up. If you have problems, let me know. As soon as that happens I will be sending out weekly emails along with posting on the class blog. Grades will be onTeacher Ease starting the 2nd nineweeks.
When you get the stapled paperpacket on Tues. sign the top sheet and return the entire packet back to me by Friday.  (Do not tear anything off or a part)  I will keep eveything on file for future parent/teacher conferences.  Have a great weekend:)

First Day

Our first day was great!  I believe it was one of the best in my 32 year career!    I had hoped to have a surprise for parents tonight, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. (I was so impressed by my students, that I forgot to do something I needed to do)  Check your emails tomorrow and if you want me to add your email to my list, let me know.

Reminders for the first day:)

1. Do not forget your healthy snack and a spoon or fork if you need it.
2. Remember your water bottle.  Make sure it is  leak proof.
3. You will need running shoes everyday.
4. Remember to bring back the papers your parents filled out.
5. Bring all your school materials.  We wil organize everything on Tue.
6. Make sure that your art shirt and gym suit are in zip lock baggies with your name on them.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions.  Mrs. J
