Marvelous Monday!  We were so excited to see the Bulldog athletes today.  We are celebrating Red Ribbon Week and they came for a visit.  Don't forget to look at the back of your newsletter.  We are having specific dress up days this week. Tomorrow is dress for success and Thursday will be our career day.  

Remember tomorrow we will continue with our Cogat testing. Get a good nights rest.  

Finally, don't forget to bring in your loose change to vote for your favorite pumpkin.  

Happy Fall Ya'll

 

I'm loving this fall weather!  Please make sure to send a light weight jacket for your child.  This time of year is so unpredictable. Mornings are cool, but afternoons are warm.  And we never know about our classroom.  :) 

 

 

 

This week we are reading a fun story called Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.  We will be talking about fact versus fiction.  

 

 

BOOSTERTHON was AMAZING!  We are now trying to get all our pledges in .  If you still have pledge money out, it is due at school now.  Please send it as soon as possible.  Thank you!

 

 

 

The GREAT PUMPKIN CHALLENGE is underway.  Students are being given the opportunity to earn extra credit in reading.  All you have to do is decorate a pumpkin to look like a story book character.   ALL pumpkins are due at school this Thursday. 

 

Parent Conferences are this Tuesday and Thursday.  You should have received a confirmation from me.  It is on a very bright piece of pink paper. 

 

 

Make up picture day is October 28th.  Please let me know if your child is in need of a make up. 

 

 

Finally, Awards Day is this Thursday at 9:30 in the cafeteria.  We hope you can join us. 

 

Have a great week!

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow!

 

This song keeps playing over and over in my head.  Eventually there has to be sun.  Hopefully everyone stayed dry over the weekend.  We have a great week planned here at Oakland.  Not only do we have our Fun Run on Friday, but this is also Walk to School Week.  Please make sure to check the back of your child's newsletter for the theme each day.  

 

We have started our weather unit.  This week we are reading Thundercake.  Students have vocabulary notes in their binder.  They are also on this week's newsletter.  Please review over the words each night.  The students will also have a quiz on weather tools this Friday.  Those notes are in their binder as well.  

 

Thank you to all of those who have gone to FunRun.com to make pledges and donations.  10% of the money we raise as a classroom will be used to purchase things for our class.  If you have not had a chance to go on FunRun.com, please do so today if possible.  It does not cost anything to register your child and they will receive a prize just for registering. 

 

Today we will be watching Dr. Patterson and Mrs. Skinner ride the tricycles.   Check back later for some photos.  :)
