The Week of November 2nd

Room 21 Newsletter

The 1st and 2nd Grade field trip that was scheduled for Tuesday the 27th was canceled due to the rain and we rescheduled for November 9, 2015.  I will send home new permission slips this week. Please return them filled in completely as soon as possible.    

3rd Graders 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 and will be 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.  I will be sending home verification forms on Monday. 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 on Friday.  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 this 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.

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.
