Friday Announements

I have a lot to tell you today!

First, the Boosterthon collection envelopes were sent home today in their Take Home Folders. The collection due date is Friday!

Second, you should also see a pink slip of paper with information about Reading Club and Math Club which start next week.  Please let me know if you have any questions about this!

Third, DragonSpace is now up and running!  No official word has been given yet about this, but it will eventually be taking the place of newsletters.  You can bookmark http://DragonSpace.southlakecarroll.edu/webPages (notice there is no www and the "P" in "Pages" must be capitalized) OR click on the DragonSpace link to the right of this blog.  In order to find me, click on schools, selct CES, them you'll have to scroll all the ywa to the bottom to find my name.  Feel free to look through it to see all the fun stuff you can find!

Fourth, I know a few of you are waiting for me to reply to some emails.  I have not even sat down the past couple of days!  I will get back to you this weekend!  I promise I'm not ignoring you ~ Boosterthon must have gotten to me! :o)

Have a great weekend!

Fun Run and Reading Logs

Don't forget!  Our Fun Run time is 10:30 tomorrow.  We would all love to see you cheering us on as we run our laps.

Also, Reading Logs are due this Friday.  I know they bring them to school with them everyday, but I need your help totaling the "at home" reading minutes.  When your child finishes reading on Thursday night, help them add the "at home" reading minutes and write the total in the space provided.  They should have 600 minutes if they are reading 30 minutes every night.  600 minutes is the total needed to receive Dragon Pride Reader each six weeks.

On Friday I am going to give them a new reading log that should be easier to record home minutes and school minutes :o)

Field Trip

I sent home information about our Third Grade field trip to downtown Grapevine. Please read the information, let me know if your child is bringing a lunch or ordering a sack lunch from the cafeteria, and sign the permission slip. We are also looking for chaperones. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Social Studies Test on Friday

This Friday we are having a Social Studies vocabulary test. As I receive more information about the specifics of this test, I will keep you updated!
