Field Trip

Last Friday a permission slip went home for a field trip to the Morton Arboretum on 10/19. It should be a fun day! Thanks to those of you who have already gotten the slips and $8 fee back. We're only allowed 3 chaperones per class, which have been filled already. Please return your slip by next Friday, 10/8.

Scholastic Book Orders

Several book order forms went home today. If you'd like to order, please have them back by Thursday, September 30 with a check made out to Scholastic.

Sent home....

In your child's folder today, you'll see information about one of the PTO's big fundraisers: the wrapping paper sale.
You'll also find order forms for Picture Day on Monday, October 4. You can send it in anytime before then.
As always, please empty the folder and return it to school each day.

Passport to Reading

Passport to Reading starts Monday, September 27! This is a 20 minute time period, 4 times a week, when our reading teachers Mrs. Parr and Ms. Divis come into the classroom to work in small groups with us. Each of the three groups is based on the skill level at which children are working. Every 4 weeks we reassess and regroup students according to the progress they've made and therefore their new skill levels. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Treasure Box Time!

Many of our students are going to the treasure box for the first time this week. They filled up their sticker charts with stickers for all the green lights they earned. Way to go! When students fill up one sticker chart, they get another so they could potentially go back to the treasure box in another 20 school days. Keep up the great work being respectful, responsible, and safe!

Fees, Please!

If you haven't turned in your $10 cash class activity fee or the $4.50 fee for a subscription to Time for Kids, please do so ASAP. We are about to place our order for the subscription.

Book It!

October calendars went home today for the Pizza Hut Book It Program. For each day you read 25 minutes, mark the calendar with a smiley face. You can read to your child or your child might read to you. If you have 20 smiley faces on your calendar, bring it back to school at the end of the month and I'll give your child a coupon for a free personal pizza from Pizza Hut. If you participate all five months (Oct-Feb) your student will receive an additional reward!
