News and Other Reminders:

*Scholastic Book Orders were due on Wednesday. A few people have had trouble with the orders so I will be submitting it first thing tomorrow morning. Please let me know if you are having problems or if you want to make sure the order went through. We so appreciate your orders and helping our class earn FREE books for our library!

*If you have not yet done so, please bring $10 to school for our classroom party fund. This helps fund all of our celebrations throughout the year.

*Next week, we will be talking more about ourselves and our families. Please send in a baby picture with your child (make sure his/her name is on it so we can return it to you!) Talk to your child about the picture and a funny thing you remember about him/her when s/he was little. The students will get to practice talking in front of the class and showing their pictures on the ActivBoard! Thank you!

*Walk-a-thon information went home with your student today. This is a GREAT way to help our school!! Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
