Week of October 21, 2019
Hello Parents,
Here are a few calendar items I want you to know about for this week. First, this week is Red Ribbon Week. I don’t have much information about it yet, but hopefully more information will come soon. Next, Tuesday is picture day. Please read at the end of the blog post for more information on frequently asked questions the office managers get regarding picture day. Lastly, Thursday the “Box Top” store will be opened from 11am to 1pm. We will take our AM kids with box tops to the store just before we go to recess. We will take the PM kids with box tops soon after they arrive at school. For those of you who might not know what the Box Top store is, it is when the children bring in all their saved and cut out ‘Box Tops for Education” coupons from participating products (go to boxtops4education.com for more information) and use the points like money to ‘buy’ different items within their point range. Don’t worry if you have not been saving box tops yet. They have a Box Top store every month and you can just start saving them from here on out. Also, ask friends and grandparents to save their box tops also. The school receives money from the box tops to purchase things they need.
This week we will continue to reinforce our understanding of and ability to being proactive as we work on Habit 1 of The 7 Habits of Happy Kids. We will also continue to learn more about maps and map making. We will learn the parts of a spider and the parts of a leaf and do more “Day and Night” activities. We have been learning about secondary colors and on Friday, we will do some Jackson Pollock paintings with primary and secondary colors.
Picture Day
Does every student get their picture taken? Yes. This is for fall pictures as well as the yearbook
Do the students bring anything with them (i.e. order forms or money) Yes they can, but please order online. Any money will be handed directly to the photographer as the office is not permitted to take money.
Does every student need to be in dress code? YES!!! Again, this will go in the yearbook, so every student should be in dress code. Please no hats or funny head wear.
What happens if I do not receive my photos or if they are wrong? Please reach out to lifetouch with the number on the flyer. The office can not do anything regarding parent orders.
Will there be a retake day? Yes, Re-take day is on November 14, but please encourage your students to have their picture done next week so we do not miss anyone.
Here are some pictures from last week and from the Oaklawn Park fieldtrip. Enjoy!
Thanks for your support,
Ms.Martha and Ms. Valerie
