Happy almost 50th day of school Bear Class people! We are going to Rock it in style on Wednesday! It’s our 50th day of school! To celebrate 50 fantastic days of learning together, we are asking each child to dress in “50’s attire”. We do not want you to buy anything……just wear what you have. Everyone has blue jeans and a white shirt and white socks. So if you cannot come up with anything else…..wear jeans and a white shirt. Other accessories could be a poodle skirt or crinoline, scarves, sunglasses, pony tails with scarves for the girls…..leather jackets, jean jackets…..you get the picture. Remember, we don’t want this to be an added expense, so raid the dress up box or borrow from a friend. We can’t wait to see what 50’s inspired treats Zero the Hero will bring to us on Wednesday!
Report cards will come home on Thursday. Sign one copy and send it back with the signed report card jacket. Keep one copy for yourself. (I’d keep the pretty blue official copy if I were you……) We will also have The Little Red Hen on Thursday afternoon at RQES. You already paid for this event in August…..well, most of you did……I may send a little reminder for those of you who may have forgotten. 🙂
Book reports are due on Friday. I can’t wait to get the scoop on all of them!
Tomorrow is computer day and we have lovely new headphones provided for our class from Jackson’s Mommy and his Mimi. Now, each child has his very own set of headphones and will not get cooties from using headphones that may or may not have been properly sanitized! Thanks to Jackson and his people! 🙂
You will notice that I have replaced last year’s Bears with an 8×10 photo of THIS year’s Bears on the sign in table outside the the door. I am sorry that it has taken so long to do so. The CVS photo people and I could not get on a schedule……but it is there now! Stop by and see those sweet faces and their reading bears……so precious.
Changes may be coming to our lunch time in the next week or so. I’ll let you know in advance and will also let you know if it is a trial run or a permanent thing. We are working with Mrs. Jockisch to get some more morning time that we can dedicate to reading.
We have a ton of fun literacy centers going on this week. New this week- we have map skills, drama, reader’s theater all piled up with our regular stuff. They are learning so much and working so hard and having such fun. They are really becoming the little family of learners that I’ve prayed they’d become…….I’ve set the bar high, and they have risen to the challenge. Just think…..a few short months ago they were in Kindergarten, now they are successfully navigating 16 centers in a week and doing a fantastic job of it!
Just imagine what they’ll be doing in another 50 days……..
Happy Monday and thanks for reading this far! (Ya’ll know I am wordy……..) Alicia
