INFO for the Week of October 20-24

Reminders:
*Next Friday, Oct. 31 is VIP Day.  Each student is encouraged to invite a special VIP into the classroom from 8:10-8:50 on Friday AM. 
*Please send in only healthy morning snacks. Please avoid juice because it can be messy. If unhealthy snacks (treats) come in, we will ask the child to save them for lunch.
*Fliptop water bottles are great in the classroom. Twist off tend to spill regularly.
*Enrichment Blocks in Reading and Math are under way. This allows for small group differentiated instruction twice each day.
*As we gain our stamina in independent work, we will also be working with additional small groups each morning. RTI and ELL are also offering small group assistance now.
*Agendas and Take-Home Folders need to go home and back each day. Also, please sign your child's agenda each day. Agendas not signed results in a DOJO down.
*Weekly homework packets will go home on Monday and need to be completed and returned by Friday morning. No homework by the end of the week results in a DOJO down and homework may earn rewards!
*It is important to write a note in their agenda if there is a change to their regular dismissal location. Front door is car pick-up and back door is walkers and Boys/Girls Club.
*Thanks to all our volunteers for our walk down to the Farmer's Market on Wednesday. We appreciate your time.
*Looking Ahead... Thursday, November 6 is the end of the first marking period.  Friday, Nov. 7 there will not be any school for the kids.  It is a teacher PD Day.  Report Cards will be sent home with children on Monday, Nov. 17.  Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on the evening of Monday, Nov. 24 and the afternoon of Tuesday, Nov. 25 (which is a half day for the students).  No School Nov. 26-28.
