Just when the kids thought we were done with writing...(YAY, the STAAR writing is over!) I make them write some more. But this is actually fun writing. The kids are writing a story about what they think their life will be like when they grow up. We started brainstorming today about things that adults get to do that kids don't. (drive, get married, buy a house, pay bills! ) The kids will type their story and illustrate it. We will be making a class book and ordering the books from Student Treasures. I will send home the flyers on Monday. Also on Monday I will forward you an email with a $2 off coupon from the Student Treasures company. Parents are not obligated to purchase a book, although it makes a wonderful keepsake. (I still have my daughter's student treasures books from when she was in elementary school!) Even if you don't want to purchase the class book, I will still need you to return the flyer...just check the box for "no".
Also on Monday information about Math-A-Thon will be coming home. All monies raised for Math-A-Thon will be sent to St. Jude's Children's hospital. This is an optional program, but I encourage all students to participate. First, because I believe that we should all do some type of "service work" for others. All of your children are fortunate to be healthy, so raising money to help children with cancer is such a worthy cause. Second, everyone can use a little more math practice!
Report cards were sent home today. Please sign the envelope and return the envelope and sticker card by Monday.
Have a fabulous Friday and wonderful weekend!!
