Thanks to All!

Don't let drugs "tie" you up! Wear a necktie tomorrow and earn a hundred dollars.

Parents I need your child's help on Friday after school from 3:15-4:15 to paint boxes for trick or treat street at the Harvest Party. If you approve, please write me a note in their planner. Please make pick up arrangements on time. Thanks!

Conference slips whet home today. I did my very best to accommodate your requests. Please select yes or no and return slip TOMORROW. If you cannot do the scheduled time you will need to call the office to reschedule. Mrs. Campbell does ALL of the rescheduling. Thanks!

Ask your child about SADD today and the meth video. Powerful!!

Thanks to the Gustafson family for taking over our pumpkin project for the Harvest family! We know you will do great things!

Trick or Eat!

Hello there. It has come to my attention, by a phone call from the U.S. Post Office, that it is illegal to place items that do not have a stamp on them in a mailbox. I guess that it is punishable with a $2000.00 fine for each flyer. OOPS!! My bad. At any rate, if you have not delivered your bags yet, please hang them on the doors or on the mailbox flags, but NOT inside the mailbox. I think we will be ok, and I was very grateful they called. Just wanted you to know what I now know.

Technology Friday!

OMG! Did we have an amazingly fun technology day. The kids took some of my son's toys and created scenes from a movie. Then they took a digital camera and took still shots by moving their objects one tiny bit at a time, take a picture, move a tiny bit, take a picture... (Some groups took more than a hundred pictures if that told you anything!) Then they downloaded their pictures into a computer program called QuickTime and sequenced the pictures into an animated movie. The results are below. Hello...can you say totally awesome and fun! So, why did we do this? Well, first and foremost because why not, and we also did it to practice using the technology so we could use it even better when we create these kind of movies to act out scenes in our Reading books in two weeks. Cool! (Make sure you click on older posts at the bottom of this page to see more movies.)

Next week is Drug Free week. Please remember to have your kids dress in Hawaiian attire on Monday. If they do, they can earn $100.00 for showing their Drug Free Spirit! I am excited that every kid in my class will be attending all parts of Drug Free Week. Wow! Are we going to make a difference or what?

Trick or Eat bags went home today. Please make sure to deliver them this weekend. It is VERY important to remember which neighborhood/houses you deliver to so you can go back next Thursday and pick them back up. When delivering, you can either put them in their mailbox, put them on their door, or ring their doorbell and hand deliver it. Please make sure your child has signed their name on the bottom of EVERY slip on each bag. Thanks!!

I am looking for some creative families out there, and I know that you are out there. We have two pumpkins in our room that need to be decorated in a theme like way. Now, I am thinking one of them needs to have a BELIEVE theme, but the other...who knows. They can be carved or painted, or decorated, or whatever your creative minds can muster up! These will be auctioned off at the Harvest Party next Friday night so I will need them back by then. The money earned will go to our classroom! Please email me if you want to do this. I need your help on this one!

Well, that is it. Have a super great night and weekend. Play outside!!!
