What are we doing in language arts?

During Language Ats for the past week, we have been watching clips from Toy Story. We have been working on predicting what a change is in a story or movie. We are focusing on how Woody's world changed when Buzz Light Year moved into Andy's room. Buzz Light Year is taking over woody's life, he is sleeping with andy and is now the leader of all the toys! Woody is going through a BIG change in his life! I think my classmates and I can really relate to the changes that are occuring in Woody's life.

what's going on today?

Money, money, money!! :)

We received our first check in the mail from our Kroger fundraiser. It was for $206.19. Keep using those Kroger gift cards!

If you are interested in participating in this fundraiser, please send your child to school with a check or $5 cash. The gift cards come pre-loaded for $5. Simply take the card to any Kroger customer service counter or checkout and choose an amount to load onto the card and then use the card to pay for your groceries. This fundraiser doesn't cost you a penny, only a few extra seconds in the grocery store. If you haven't already started, please support our Blue Jays!

Remember - for every $5,000 that is loaded onto our Kroger gift cards we receive a check for 4% of the amount. Once we "reload" for another $5,000 we will receive another check. Just think - if each Blue Jay family spent $100 at Kroger a month, we would receive a check for $200 every month!! It's so simple! :)

social studies project

In social studies we have be rewriting a song into a social studies song about our class notes.Me and my friend Sara rewrote the song "Thriiler." I thought that making the song was really fun. Now I can remember what tunda means and arid. Tundra is very cold and arid is hot.Things can be very fun and educational at the same time.

School Supplies

Parents/Guardians

Please check with your child this weekend to see if they are running low on pencils, paper or other school supplies. We are officially 1/3 of the way through the school year and this is a common point for school supplies to need some replenishing. We have a number of students that we have been supplying with pencils and paper for the last several weeks and are running low on our own personal supplies as well!

Also - this weekend is a great time to clean out (and replace if needed) binders and tab dividers. If you start a shoebox at home with old papers, that will help your child stay organized and also prevent any important papers from accidentally being thrown away!

Thank you for a great start to the school year!

Also - If you could, please have students keep white out and other supplies of that nature at home. We have had several white out spills that have ruined some school furniture and created messes for our custodial staff to clean up!
