Need Parents to help!!!!

Just a reminder that we will be Carving Jack-O-lanterns (painting Fall Pumpkins) on Oct. 27th. I will need lots of parents and or grandparents to help. We will be eating lunch at 11:30 and will start carving at 12. All are invited to come and have lunch with us and then stick around for the the fun. The students will be using their "how to" paragraphs as guides. We will then take a group picture with all the creative little "Punkies". If you have any pumpkin carving kits, bring them along.

A classroom need

I would like for my class to give each bus driver a giant candy bar in honor of School Bus Appreciation. I will add a special wrapper to express our thanks. I know that Krogers have them on sale right now. I will need 13 so any donations would be greatly appreciated:)Send them in anytime and I will do the rest. Thanks for your help, Mrs. J

On another topic, please let me know if you are having trouble signing into Engrade. I know you will find this tool a huge help this year:)

Back to School Night

Thanks to all who came out for "Back to School Night". It seems I never have enough time to cover everything and I have to talk a mile a minute. I hope tonight did answer some of your questions. I am thinking about doing a short demo (about 45min) on the Promethean Board one evening. Totally optional. Several parents indicated interest on how it is used in the classroom. I will see what I can come up with for sometime in October.
For parents who still have questions, please let me know and we can set up a conference or a team meeting. A team meeting includes you and me and your child. I like to include the student so that they can have imput. These meetings can start as soon as next week.
Here is a brief run down up upcoming events. More info to follow.
