Good evening parents!

Just a quick, midweek note to hopefully get, or keep, everyone up-to-speed...

1. I have assigned the entire class two "homework" tasks for the week: The first is to collect a few photographs, with help from parents, to use in a project we are doing at school.

This extension for learning about timelines and history will have them create their own timeline, showing the passage of time as it relates to generations of family before them.

Ideally they would bring photos of parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on, with the people in these photos captured around roughly the same age as the kids are now.

If you don't have photos, you could use something else representative of that person or era, (maybe a college diploma, sports memorabilia, something along those lines.)

2. The second assignment is to MEMORIZE THOSE LINES FOR THE PLAYS! Now some of our students have done that already, so those students have the assignment to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

If your student is in "Lion and the Mouse," please try to take some time to work with your child on the job of memorization. Anything you can offer in the way of support from your end will undoubtedly make a genuine difference, and is greatly appreciated.

OTHER QUICK REMINDERS:

3. Please stop by the AISU office to submit your field trip fee of $15. Once you have done this, please don't forget to send me a message that you have. Alternatively, you may pay the $15 online using the following link, https://secureinstantpayments.com/sip/cart/event.php?EID=2718

4. If at all possible, please send a pair of indoor shoes and an extra pair of clean socks for your child to keep at school. This way we can keep the kids dry and warm, while at the same time keeping our classroom clean.

5. If your child does not have a water bottle at school, PLEASE send one as soon as possible. A plastic water bottle with a name on it will suffice. If your child doesn't have one already, rest assured he or she asked to go out for a drink at least five times before lunch today! 😉

6. Collecting LEGO donations of ANY kid to support fellow teacher Ms. Amber, and her recent adoption of three foster kids. if you can help this cause in any way, you would be a saint!

7. BOOK FAIR IS NEXT WEEK!

As I mentioned in the newsletter Monday, our class has a real shot at winning the reading contest and receiving book fair bucks as a reward. I am recording the EPIC data each day, so if you will help your child record any reading they do at home on the attached sheet, I will add the remaining read pages that your child accrued via EPIC.

And speaking of EPIC, the Dolphins just completed the marker for having read 500 books collectively over the last month, so at the very least we are making some reading waves;).

8. This weekend the PTO is hosting a giant fete with the objective of raising money to build additional features onto the school property for all students to enjoy.

Show your support and get a night out for some fun, while at the same time supporting your kiddos. Check out the details in attachments. Link to purchase tickets or donate is as follows:

As always, thanks for all you do and your ongoing support.

Cheers,
(Miss) Jessica
