Ever Heard of National Pirate Day??

Me neither, but our music teacher, Mr. Goodheart is gung-ho matey about it! So, he has challenged the kids to dig out all their pirate attire and bring it to music class this coming Monday. Students will put it on, celebrate the day (which is actually this Saturday), and then put it back in their bags. What would a pirate day be without a treasure? So, students that participate in the fun will earn a $100 reward. Get creative!!!

Grade reports also went home today. They are up-to-date through today. Looking great for the most part! Yep, they are getting serious about their educations and figuring out that intermediate is a million times different than primary. It is a lot more responsibility and accountability. Thanks parents for helping them understand this transition! I couldn't do it without you and your support!

Permission slips for the Nile also went home today. We will be going on October 12th. Their buy in $1000.00 will be collected the Friday before that. Students also wrote one rule that they felt they needed to work on between now and then. I am very proud of this group! They are so well mannered and the talking out is getting so, so much better.

Students will be participating in a Native Indian project next Friday. We will be joining up with Mrs. Hankin's class to do a very fun and creative art project. Students were asked to start collecting all different types/shapes/colored leaves this weekend. They need to press them in between pages of books (in wax paper works best) and then keep them fresh in a ziplock bag. They need to bring them in this coming Friday. The more the better!!! Wanna help parents? Let me know!!!

We will be taking our last NWEA Map test on Monday. It will test the content of language. Students need to be in bed as close to 8 as possible, eat a good breakfast with high protein, bring a hard boiled egg for snack, and be here on time. BELIEVE and hugs out the door!! :0)

Lastly, have a super weekend and stay cool! Crazy weather we are having! Cool weather next week though. WooHoo!! Peace!
