Our kids seem to be
pretty excited about two new incentives, Bus Bucks and the Golden
Spatula. If you haven't heard about these yet, be sure to ask your
children to explain, and ask them what is their role in earning these recognitions. Congratulations to the students who have earned and brought
home Bus Bucks for being respectful, responsible and safe bus riders.
And congratulations to the classes who have earned the Golden Spatula trophy
for their manners in the cafeteria!
Next week our students
will continue to learn about how other people matter through the Positivity Project. Next week's lessons will focus on
"being present and giving others my attention." That means that
you give your full attention when you're with other people. Practice this
at home, like when you're having dinner together, or reading a story together,
or engaging in conversation and really listening to one another. After all, #otherpeoplematter!
If your child missed
school picture day, no worries; we'll have picture make-up day on Wednesday,
November 6. Flyers will come home as a reminder when that day gets
closer.
We have a busy week
ahead:
- Jump Rope Club begins for interested 5th graders on Monday, October 7 at 8:15. Students who are planning to participate must remember to bring their permission slips.
- Mr. Gramlich, our science specialist, comes to visit grades 2 and 4.
- Merry-Go-Round Theater actors will come to visit grade 5 for a performance of the play Emilia.
- We will have a Positivity Project assembly on
Thursday to learn about integrity.
- All that and lots more learning, too!
Thursday evening,
October 10, at 6:30, all are welcome to our monthly PTA meeting in the OR
library. Be on the lookout for information about the upcoming Scholastic
Book Fair, a visit from children's author Troy Cummings, and Halloween, all
sponsored by PTA!
Have a great weekend!
