Hi everyone! I want you to know that I am going to be working on improving this blog. There is a Swahili proverb that says, "Haba na Haba hujaza kibaba." Now this is just fun to say, but the meaning applies as well! It means little by little fills the measure. This is my philosophy for this year. I am undertaking lots of new things and this blog is just one of them. So little by little I am trying to embrace technology and utilize this tool to better communicate with you! So bear with me and I'm sorry if it's a little boring right now!
Well we are wrapping up the first quarter this week. Grades will be cut off on Friday so that I can get report cards finished and handed out by Tuesday. I have given the students a printout of their current grades so that they are aware where they stand. But we still have this week and I still have a few sets of papers to grade for reading, math, and social studies. We will be having another math test this week, as well as a science test. Also math notebooks are due this week. I am hopeful that the students are working hard to do what they can to improve their grades.
Some quick reminders -
- This Wednesday is dollar dress down day
- Thursday is our 40th day which is a funding day - we need everyone in school that day. It will also be a free dress down day and we will have some fun activities in the afternoon to celebrate the day. The school is providing a popcorn party for each class. We will have ours after PE. And, the big news is there will be NO MATH that day!! Believe me this is a big deal! :) Also, no homework if everyone is in class that day!
- Cookie dough sale ends next Wednesday
- Wednesday October 13 is Report Card Day and is a half day with no after school care or lunch!
- There is no school October14th and 15th
Harvest Fest is quickly approaching. I need some parent volunteers to help with this as I may need to be out of town for my son's state soccer tournament. I don't have the details of when his games are going to be yet, but last year they started on Friday evening up in Phoenix. So, if you can help out or if you have any great ideas, let me know!
Speaking of Harvest Fest, we need candy donated for this event! Lots and lots of candy!! Please consider sending in a bag or two!
TEAM DAILEY class shirts! We would like to order class t-shirts this year. The cost is $5.00. Please send in your money as soon as possible so I can get these ordered.
Consider taking some time to sit and read Hatchet with your kids - it's a fun book and I know they would enjoy the time with you! Many students are behind in their reading and in their reader's guides they are completing.
