Leader of the Week…

*Wednesday is make up picture day! Please send a
note to let me know if you want your child’s picture
retaken.
*The next PTA meeting is scheduled for Thursday
night at 6:00.
*Starting this week I plan to do something different
with reading. I am going to allow students to choose
4 books for the month that they can read for their
Tuesday night books. When our schedules are crazy
it is hard to remember to send them home. Since
they will have them in their bags I won’t have to
worry. Please keep these in their book buddies (the
zipper pouch in side their green folders). They will be
asked to return them at the end of the month. If they
do not return all 4 I will not send home any new
books. Please help your child take care of the them
and return them timely.
*Please save one 1 gallon milk jug for our class.
Please wash and rinse it out thoroughly and send
them in by the 29th. We are going to be making
something with them on Oct. 30th. Thank you! 
*Ms. Lisa’s birthday is next Monday. Though she
probably doesn’t want me to advertise her age, I will
tell you it is a special one! If you would like to help
out in any way please let me know. I am wanting to
do something extra special for her from the class.
