FYI...

On Tuesday morning, each student will color a "Hootie, the Wise Old Owl" coloring sheet. We will send this home tomorrow because there is a place on the bottom for parents to fill out and sign. All returned coloring sheets will be entered in the Path2College 529 Plan's Coloring Sweepstakes. If you would like your child's picture entered, please return them, signed, on Wednesday morning. All entries must be postmarked by Friday, September 30, so we will mail them Thursday morning. The winner will be selected in random drawing on or around October 13. The winner will be given a $1,529 scholarship fund to use when it's time for that student to go to college.


There will have a cub scout "round up" informational meeting on: Wednesday, September 28th for grades 1st-5th. The cub master will be stopping by our classrooms for around 10 minutes beginning at 9:00am. The sign-ups for Cub Scouts will be held in the cafeteria on Thursday, September 29th at 6:30.

~Student Council is again sponsoring Hats for Hope. Students who make a $1 donation may wear a hat to school on Friday, September 30. All money will go to Jay’s Hope Foundation and will be donated in honor of eighth grade student Abby Wilson to show our support of her in her battle with cancer.

~Art Class
Ms. Jones has asked that students bring a large t-shirt to be worn during art class. Please be sure that it is long enough to cover their sleeves and shirts completely.

SPELLING UNIT 1 TEST

Tomorrow, Friday, September 23, we will have our first Unit Test over the words in Lessons 1-4.  There are three sections on the test. For each section, words from each lesson will be used. In the first section, I will call out 12 words for the students to write correctly. In the second section, students are given sets of 4 words and 4 sentences. They have to choose which word completes the sentence best.  In the last section, a word will be spelled three different ways and the student circles which spelling is correct. Not all of the words from the lessons are included on the Unit Test.

It has been a great Homecoming week! We'll have pictures up soon...
WE WON THE SPIRIT STICK!!!

A few updates...
     BOTH classes reached their goal of 60 magazines sold. We have planned their party for Wednesday afternoon. Go, 4th Grade!
     We are also very close to filling our Compliment Gumball Machine. What an awesome group of students :)

A few reminders...
     If your child's birthday is this month and you would like for him/her to be presented with a birthday book, please have the form and check in by Wednesday. Birthdays are recognized at Celebration chapel on the last chapel of the month.
     Please let your student clean out his/her own homework folder once a week. Your child knows which papers we are through with and which ones they are to bring back for class or study. A few times this year,  parents have cleaned out their child's folder, not realizing that they were throwing out needed papers.
      

Have a great weekend!
