Volunteers and Halloween Brunch Sign Ups

Hello families!

As Fall is upon us and the weather is changing each day, (sometimes several times within a day) please send your student with appropriate clothing. I tell my children to bring it, even if they don't want to wear it at that moment. They might change their minds later. When the temperature is above 20 degrees, we will still be going outside for recess and students will wait outside classroom doors before school.

I would love to have some parent volunteers help out in the classroom and support our classroom's needs. I have created a sign up genius. Please follow this link to sign up to volunteer. Our needs include cutting and trimming paper, sewing, Friday Folder help, holiday parties and more! We would love to see some familiar faces helping out around our classroom.

This Thursday is Halloween! After the costume parade, we will have brunch in the classroom. I have put together a sign up for this as well. If you are able to donate food for our little party, please follow this link to sign up.

Thank you so much for your support!

Unit 2 Math Review

3rd grade students will be taking a math test for Unit 2 on Thursday. They came home with their Unit 2 Math Review today. After they have completed all of the questions, have them check their answers with mine. Make sure to have labels for the units on all answers! Because we will be taking the math test on Thursday, there will not be regular math homework until Friday night. 

Have a great night!

Hello Parents!

I really enjoyed meeting you all at conferences yesterday. Thank you so much for coming! I just love seeing how much your kids look like you and being able to connect with your kids in a new way. I'm very excited to continue to partner with you to help this year be the best for your child!

There are a variety of ways that you can get involved and help out our classroom this year. If you or your family are interested in volunteering, please follow this link to sign up. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Snacks

Each morning, we eat snack around 9:15 because we have about four hours in between school starting and lunch. Many of the students in Room G come to school without a morning snack. Personally, I don't have the funds to provide snack for the students as some teachers do. If possible, please remember to send a healthy snack with your child in the morning.

In the cases where this is not possible for some families, I'm looking for donations.

The students and I have come up with a great idea! The cafeteria encourages the students to take a fruit with their hot lunch, but often, the students don't touch it and it gets thrown away. We have started to put uneaten, untouched foods in our lunch tote so that the we have a few extra snacks for the next day. For example, on Friday, the cafeteria was serving bananas. A couple of students didn't want their banana, so they put them in the lunch tote and put it in a basket in the classroom. Now we have 2 bananas for snack on Monday! This has been great so far, but we don't have enough food to go around. We often have 6-8 kids without a snack, and they end up arguing over who should get the left over food.

This is where we need your help! If you are able to pick up an extra package of snacks next time you are at the store, we would greatly appreciate it.

Healthy snacks are appreciated - fruit such as bananas, cuties or apples, applesauce cups or pouches, crackers, granola bars, fruit leather, pretzels, rice cakes, beef jerky, pre-popped popcorn, etc. We have no method of keeping snacks refrigerated or cold in our classroom, so I ask that you please refrain from sending yogurt, cheese, and the like.

Thank you so much for thinking of our class!
