12-11-12 Daily Update (Treat Shop)

Parents,

Making treats today was very successful.  The kids did a great job working as a team and we were able to make nearly 2,000 Elf Hats which we placed in 320 bags for sale tomorrow.  Wow!  A Huge thank you to Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Carpenter for helping out today.  We couldn't have done it without you!  Thank you for all of your help melting, dipping, M&M placing, bagging, cleaning, and generally managing your group!  You all did a terrific job!

Tomorrow is Treat Shop sales day for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades.  4th graders who want to buy treats need to bring in their quarters on Thursday.  Because we are selling to a Kindergarten class on Thursday, we are going to wait to bring in our quarters to buy treats on Thursday after the Kindergartners have bought what they want.

Reminders:

• Treat Shop (sell) Wed. Dec. 12
  
• Treat Shop (buy for 4th grade) - Thurs. Dec. 13 - Bring in your quarters!
• 3rd Grade Music Program is Thursday
• Turn in Peach Student Directory form (optional)

Parents,

Students were able to complete their Secret Santa shopping today.  They were excited to buy gifts for you and other family members.

In Reading, students are learning about the author and illustrator, Chris Van Allsburg.  He is the creator of many great picture books including Jumanji, Polar Express, and Zathura that have been adapted as movies you may know.  Up until Christmas break, students will be reading more of his stories and then completing questions and activities to go along with each.

Reminders:

• Scholastic Book orders should be turned in by Friday (check) or ordered online by Saturday.
• Secret Santa - Thursday, December 6 at 2:00

12-5-12 Daily Update

Parents,

Tomorrow is Secret Santa shopping.  Please send money and the green shopping slip with your child to help guide their shopping.  Its also a good idea to send your child with a brown paper bag (shopping size) with their name on it to carry the gifts home. If you are free tomorrow, Parents Club always appreciates any help you can give.  For example, some parents are usually needed to help students shop for items.

The students should have taken home their Topic 3 Math test today.  Overall, they did really well.  We did corrections in school.  It does not need to be signed and returned this time.

I still need midterms from:  Hayden

I still need treat shop items from: Logan, Emily, Alex, Andrew, Andy, Allison, and Paul

Reminders:

• Scholastic Book orders should be turned in by Friday or ordered online by Saturday.

In order to be "hired" for treat shop, students will need to complete a mock job application listing their skills and references for Social Studies.  I have also reminded students that it is an expectation that students are caught up on their work and independent reading in order to participate in the making of the treats next Tuesday.  

I still need midterms from:  Alex, Hayden, JD, Jordon, Andy, Allison, & Kyle.  These are due tomorrow.

Reminders:

• Midterms - signed and returned by Wed. Dec. 5
• Scholastic Book orders should be turned in by Friday or ordered online by Saturday.
