October News

It is the time of year to get together! (That's something to smile about!)  I am looking forward to getting to meet with all of you the week of November 8th.  I will be sending home appointment times on Friday, October 15th.

I am also hoping to see many of you on Friday, October 29th when the children will share the stories they have been working on during October.  I am planning this day to be a fun fall celebration with pumpkin measurements, sharing stories and fall snacks.

Notes:

Many children are bringing their iPods to class.  We have had some good classroom applications such as using the scientific calculator and reading novels from them.  My two concerns are the possibility of one ending up lost/taken and students using them at inappropriate times for games. I know that this is a very expensive item and want you to please discuss the risk your child is taking in choosing to bring it to school.  If a child is using their iPod for an activity he/she shouldn't be, or at an inappropriate time, I will hold it until the end of the day and ask him not to bring it back to class. Thanks for your help with this.

Caesar's Wall of Fame

I have started a Caesar's Wall of Fame this year.  Students have 4 opportunities to earn a spot on the wall by earning 100% on all quizzes for the quarter.  This first quarter we have 5 students who have achieved that honor.  I have purchased a Caesar costume and each child will have their picture taken and posted on the wall outside our classroom.  Students will also receive a designation on their achievement banner in the classroom.
