Wow...where did the summer go?  Can not believe that school starts Tuesday.   I am ready and I hope you are too.  It was wonderful meeting all of you last week.  The first Smilebox has been sent out.  I had  a couple to bounce back to me so if you did not get it let me know.  I had several parents to ask me what they could be doing to help their child be ready for the 4th grade.  My answer is to help them know their Mult. facts.  Here is the address to my SOL review blog that has tons of fun ways to study facts.

Check it out.  I believe learning can be fun:) 

Enjoy your holiday weekend.   See everyone next Tuesday!

PS  Do not forget....we do have snack and students can have a water bottle at their desk. (water only please)

Good morning!








Hope you all are ready for the School Spirit Week Challenge! Our cash registers are programmed with each of your school's names and ready for your parents & supporters to come on in and ask for their receipt total to be donated to their school of choice. We hope that you encourage your supporters every day to come by so that your school can be named Mechanicsville's Top Spirited School.







Remember that I will total numbers early Friday morning and contact you asap as to our winner! We will then determine when the best time would be for our Kid Cow and myself to come by and present your entire student body with a three-offer digital dessert coupon!







The winning school will receive $250 cash (on top of your % donated) and the 2nd place school will receive $100 (on top of your % donated). The third and fourth place schools will receive your % donated from the receipts, so in my opinion, everybody wins!







Have a GREAT week!
