Pick-up Times

I begin tutoring after school tomorrow. In order to maximise my time with the students I will be working with, please make your best effort to pick your child up at 3:15 on regular days and 1:00 on Minimum Days.

Thank you for your help!

Our Finished Product Unveiled!

We are ready for Red Ribbon Week! We had a great time putting this door together and learning why we say no to drugs! Each student made their own mummy, who says "no to drugs!"

A special thank you to Mrs. Hogue and Mrs. McDaniel for  donating supplies and time to make this possible!

Treats?

Is anyone willing to bring in cookies or cupcakes for our class tomorrow to celebrate spelling "REACH" (behavior award)? There are 28 of us!

Please note, I provide enticing alternatives for students with allergies.

Book It!

Today I am sending home a reading log and information about Book It. This program rewards students for reading every day for 20 minutes with a Personal Pan Pizza from Pizza Hut. Once your student submits their completed reading log on the first school day of each month, I will award their voucher. Ex. turn in October log 11/2.

I encourage you to look up books your students read using arbookfind.com so that they are reading in their ZPD range (listed on the STAR Reading Report I sent home in portfolios 10/19). They can take AR tests and earn points at school from the reading they did at home.

Let the reading begin!

Harvest Festival!

The REACH Harvest Festival is coming right up! 10/30 we will be having a costume parade during our P.E. time (1:15- 1:45). Students are encouraged to come to school dressed as their favorite literary character, fiction or non! Please bring a book to go with your character to share. Following the parade kids will visit a PTO-sponsored treat-hand-out in the staff parking lot, and then we will have a few treats in our classroom. If you are interested in donating treats, please consider the following: apples, individual caramel dip cups, veggies, apple cider, small plates, small cups and napkins. Please respond to this post in the comments field if you are able to contribute. Parents are welcome to join us for the parade!

Thank you!

Coffee with the Director

Tomorrow morning at 8:15! Hope you can make it!
