November 5-9

Please don’t forget to have your child return their bookring EVERY day!  This is so critical to our reading time in class.  If they do not have it they will not have anything to read and they will have a consequence of staying in from recess.  I have discussed with the students their responsibility in keeping it in their backpack.

I encourage you to take some time each night to do an activity on your child’s homework BINGO.  If you do 5 in a row, you will be practicing spelling, reading, math, sight words and a family activity.  For each BINGO your child gets, they will get a homework star.  After 5 stars, they get a prize from the treasure chest.  A blackout gives them a prize!  Return the October Book It calendar for a FREE personal pan pizza.  Students who participate in all 6 months will be invited to a Pizza party in the classroom in April.
 
It is not too late to become a PTA member or Grandparent Booster Club member! Forms are available on our website if you wish to sign up. Becoming a PTA member will allow you to vote on issues that directly affect your child(ren) and their school. The fall fundraiser is over and soon PTA members will be voting on how they can best support our school with the profits.
For our Grandparent Booster Club, students/parents first give us their mailing addresses if you think you have any Grandparents interested. We then mail them an application. To join this group, grandparents return the application with any donation. Grandparent Booster donations are then used for buying books for our students and our library.

I am still in need of parent/grandparent volunteers in the classroom.  I had many confirmations at conferences, but still have many time slots available.  Your help is greatly appreciated.  Please let me know if you can set apart an hour a week to work with students in the class.
