Wednesday
A few things going on tomorrow I didn’t mention yesterday.
*Film club meets tomorrow for their special meeting about Percy Jackson.
*Also, I know you got a letter in the mail, but this is just to remind you-
Conferences are coming up! Sign-ups start tomorrow and end next Wednesday. Conferences are March 17th and 18th from 4-7:30. The online sign-up is a new schoolwide thing. To sign up you go to Foothills homepage and click on online scheduler. Unfortunately, there are only 30 timeslots availabe. I have 30 students, so it’s first-come, first- served. The sooner you sign up the better! If you don’t sign up, you will be assigned a time. If you are not planning on attending please let me know so I can leave that time slot available to someone else. Thank you!
*Lastly- Please don’t forget to send your children home with their treasurebook forms filled out tomorrow! It’s very important I get them back! Thankyou!
Busy Week!
Hey parents! We have a lot going on this week. Please read this through carefully:
Tuesday- They need to bring recorders and library books.
Wednesday- February reading calendars are due no later!
– Treasure Book forms are due- They MUST turn it in to me no later! The first book is free- that one is taken care of. If you want a second or more copies the price starts at $15 per additional book. If you do not want an extra copy, there is a small box down at the bottom of the form that says “no”. Please check that box and sign it if you don’t want any additional books. ALL students must turn this in before I can get their treasure books bound.
Thurs- Spelling and Vocab. test
Friday- Book Battle forms are due! They must be signed for the minutes to count!
– We are having a read-a-thon. Students can bring a book to read, a sandwich-sized snack bag with snacks for themselves, and 1 pillow OR blanket. It must all fit in their back-pack, zipped up.
– Lastly, their county choices are due! We will begin writing to our counties on Monday, next week. I sent home a form tonight. They need to pick their top three choices. I will give them one of their choices. If I don’t get the form back, I will choose their county for them. I will be sending home more information on it next week. Also, they need to bring a stamp, no later than Friday to mail their letter.
February Reading Calendars!
I forgot to tell students to write it in their planner! Reading Calendars are due no later than Wed. March ones will be coming home on Mon.
Dance, Pioneer, Dance
I sent home a poem with your children today. They will be doing it in groups of three. Each student has been assigned specific lines in the poem. They need to work on memorizing their part at home. Those will be due March 10th. This is part of their oral report grade.
Book Battle!
Parents! We are having our annual book battle against Butterfield Canyon! I will be sending home a calendar tomorrow. They need to keep track of any minutes they read at home over the next two weeks. This is a different calendar than their reading calendar. It will be due March 5th! It must have a parent’s signature to count! Happy Reading!
Valentine Party!
We had a great party! Thanks to all who helped out! We had a contest and students voted on the best Valentine mailboxes. We made bookmarks, frosted cookies, played tic-tac-toe, unscrambaling words, and ate lots of delicious treats! Click here to see pictures!
Over The Break…
Hi Parents! Just a few things going on while we’re off track to fill you in on…
1) Literacy Night- Feb. 4th 6:30-8:00 in the gym. Brandon Mull will be there signing autographs. It’s a lot of fun! Hope you can come.
2) January reading calendars are due when we come back. I sent home February ones today.
3) We will celebrate Valentine’s Day on Friday the 19th. There is a contest for decorating their Valenting box- its optional (for fun) not required. Also, they are welcome to bring treats for classmates, I just ask that they bring one for everyone or none at all, so no one gets left out. I sent home a list of our class today.
See you when we get back! Enjoy your break
Recorders
Students need to bring their recorders and music books to school on Thursday!
Things to know this week!
Parents! We have a busy couple of days ahead of us. Here’s what you need to know:
*Wed: We are having our class party that they earned. They can dress up if they like (i.e. if they’re in a martial arts class and want to wear their belt, they can). We are doing an Asian party. There will be origami, food, games- lots of fun!
Also, film club will be meeting
*Thurs: Spelling and Vocab. test & Rendezvous
*** Their Native American/Mountain Man project is due
* Fri: Track off and Auction!
Have a great week!
Recorders and Math
This is important for Wednesday! Our recorders have finally arrived. If your child has their own recorder and/or music book they need to bring them tomorrow. We will be using their recorders ut to the last week of school. They will need to bring it every day that they have music.
Also, I made an error on their math from last week’s homework! I graded them incorrectly, so they did much better than I had thought. I appologize! I am correcting them tonight, so they won’t be bringing them home to fix, but they will be in their Friday folder.
