This is Cody and his winning entry for the rodeo art contest. Congratulations Cody !!
Here are some great pictures from our field trip to Minute Maid Park:
Tomorrow a letter is coming home regarding Scholar Dollar Day. Please sign it and fill it out this week. All students were told about the Scholar Day items and directions before Christmas.
Report cards come home on Thursday. Please keep the report card, sign the envelope and return the envelope and sticker card by Monday.
Some parents have ordered books from Scholastic online...thank you! All orders are due on Thursday.
I will not be at school on Friday. I am going to Austin on Thursday night for the Texas Classroom Teachers' Association Convention. I will be hearing about the latest legislation regarding education and also will have the opportunity to meet with state representatives.
Please remember to sign your child's agenda each night and every weekend.
Have a wonderful week!!
Yesterday when we went to the library, students chose a biography to read. A couple of students requested to go to the George Memorial Library to check out a book, which is fine. However, the book must be checked out this weekend and brought to school on Monday. We WILL begin working on their reports on Monday and students must have the book. More information will be coming home on Monday regarding the project. This weekend would be a good time to go to Office Depot or Max, Hobby Lobby or Target and buy a trifold project board. The entire project will be due on February 19th.
Cody was chosen as one of the school winners for the rodeo art contest.
We will have a math test on Thursday over Chapter 11.
We had alot of fun on our field trip. We went to several areas of Minute Maid Park like down on the field and the kids got to sit in the visitors dugout. Our tour guide took us to the press room and one of the suites. The tour was very interesting...we learned quite alot of information about the ball park and about how bats and baseballs are made. After the tour, we all had a picnic lunch right outside the ballpark. Thank goodness the weather was perfect and the kids had fun jumping rope and just running around! Our plan was to then walk to Discovery Green and "play" there, but with all the rain we have had, the grass was just too muddy. Thank you to all my parents who accompanied us on the trip.
Please have the students bring their pennies and other small change beginning Monday. The student council is beginning our Pennies for Patients fundraiser to raise money for the Leukemia Society. Last year our extremely generous Dickinson families sent in over $6000!!
