October 30th at school

Our day in pictures :)

Halloween, Cookie Dough Sale, and the Suns

Halloween

We will be able to dress up for about the last hour of school on Friday, October 30^th. Only if they would like to dress up, students can bring a simple costume to change into. To follow school rules the costume guidelines are: no violence (blood, gore, fangs sticking out), no masks, no face make up, no weapons and comfortable shoes. Please keep this simple, no accessories to the costume. If the costume does not meet these guidelines and could be considered “gory” or too difficult to put on and transport to school, please just send in a picture of the student dressed up to share. Store bought treats for the afternoon would be appreciated.

Cookie Dough Sale

I sent home packets for the cookie dough sale on Thursday afternoon. Please only let your students ask people who they know, and if they want to ask neighbors a parent or adult needs to go with them. The school will only accept cash, and the students need to turn in their envelopes with their orders and enough money to cover them all by November 9th. The money earned will be just for our classroom to cover future field trips, materials, etc. The frozen products will be delivered to Legacy on Tuesday, November 24th and will go home with the students that day.

The Suns

A shameless plug for Josh and the Phoenix Suns- If you are interested in going to some basketball games, or really other activities at the US Airways Center, call Josh Whaley. He can put together season, 1/2 season, 11 and 4 game packages, group rates, and they have some kind of fundraiser option that I do not know much about but have been used for teams and groups to raise money.

ZOO Trip!

It was a beautiful day at the Zoo with great parent and grandparent help- THANK YOU!! Here are a few pictures from the day :)

Homework and Picture Retakes

Homework for the week back October 19-23^rd

I will be sending home different math homework for at least the first week back. My reason is that I want to review some concepts we worked on during homework math before moving on. Please check in with your student about what they are working on and practice these skills at home.

ALSO Picture Retakes will be this Tuesday, October 20th. Sorry for the late notice! If you need a new picture packet, let your student know and I will give them one on Monday at school!!!

1/2 Day Friday 10-9-09. Fall Break, Student's of the Week

Remember!!! Tomorrow, October 10th, 2009 is a half day so dismissal is at 12:30.
ALSO, it is Dollar for Duds- send in a dollar with your student and they can wear what they want (except: spaghetti straps, flip flops, short shorts, or anything with "rude or crude" graphics on the clothes)
Here are the photos of the last few Students of the Week! :)
Enjoy your Fall Break and see everyone on Monday, October 19th!

Birthday Bar Graph

We made human bar graphs today by the categories of birthdays. After collecting the "data" we are working on making it into bar graphs on graph paper and then using questions like, "What is the sum of February and September's birthday?" to work with the numbers. Check out the photos :)
