Week of October 26, 2015
A Note from Ms. Jazmin:
Thank you all that were able to send in sweets and also volunteer for the cake walk at this year's Fall Festival! I will let you know in next week's newsletter how much money we were able to raise. I'll also let you know how the dunking booth went for me... I'm hoping the wet suit keeps me warm-ish.
Our first and second year field trip that was scheduled for Tuesday the 27th was canceled due to the rain and we rescheduled for November 9, 2015. New permission slips went home with your child on Tuesday. I also sent home the Musical Explorers permission slips to first, second, and third year students. Please return them filled in completely as soon as possible. If you wish for your child NOT to be photographed at the Musical Explorers concert please let me know ASAP via email.
Third year students thoroughly enjoyed their field trip, "It's All Greek!". They learned about our roots in Greek architecture via the many examples in our historic downtown buildings. Ask them about it!
A slew of paperwork has been going home this week that needs your attention. Please pay close attention to your child's folders and return the forms when they are filled out. ALL verification forms must be returned, even if there are no changes to be made. If there are no changes, please note that on the form.
Bobcat dads came by and read books to our class this morning. This was great, especially for me, since this was the first year that upstairs classrooms could participate. Thank you to all the dads that volunteered and helped make it possible to the upstairs classes! Students feel the importance of school and learning when they see parent involvement; again, thank you.
Tutorial begins next week, Monday. Student test scores were used in determining which students were invited to join due to limited resources. If you received a letter home, please return it as soon as possible either agreeing to allow your child to join the program, or declining.
Friday morning we have children's author, Stephanie Sisler, coming in to speak with the children! This should be a fun and engaging event! Below are a couple of her books.

Upcoming HEALTHY snack weeks for 26 students: We do have a low level peanut allergy in the classroom, so we prefer peanut free snacks so that the student may also participate in snack with the class.
Some suggestions for snack are: precut fruit (apples, grapes, bananas cut in half, oranges, etc.), precut vegetables with hummus for dipping, cheese and crackers, granola bars or chewies, trail mix, applesauce, hummus and crackers, yogurt or Gogurt, graham crackers… The purpose of snack is to provide a nutritious energy booster when the students need it. Please keep in mind the nutritional value when choosing a snack.
