Dr. Seuss Day

We are having a birthday party for Dr. Seuss on Friday. If you would like to send a snack with your child to share with the class I would really appreciate it! Let me know if you would like to help!

State Project

The students will be completing a state project. They know what state they are responsible for learning about. We will be doing the research in class, but if you would like to go to the library to check out books on their state you can. I have a sheet they will have to fill out. It is ALL the information they will need to know about their state. They are required to make a brochure, poster, or an advertisement for their state (this will need to be completed at home). They will present their state March 8th during class. They can bring something to share with the class or dress up if they would like, but that is not required. We will begin our research on tomorrow! HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR.

Read Across America day

It is almost Read Across America Day aka Dr. Seuss Day, it is March 1. We are doing a door decoration contest, and I need every child to bring in a blue jean back pocket. It can be off an old pair old jeans, but I need to students to bring this by Monday, February 25. Also, we will be dressing up like Dr. Seuss characters that day, so be thinking of a great costume!

Announcements

History test tomorrow

Field trip money is due no later than March 18th

Students should be reading at least 30 minutes a night. The end of the third nine weeks is approaching quickly and the students need to make their AR goals.

I would like to have an Easter party. It is a month away, so we have time to plan. If you would like to help or have a fun idea please let me know!

Field Trip

The parents that are going to ride in the van are:

Drivers: Bobby Hussey and Greston Holmes

Chaperones: Anthony Gardiner, Heather Price, Amy Price, and Beth Bell

If you can't go please let me know because I have other parents that would like to go. The money for the trip is due by March 18th.

Valentines

We will be having a Valentines Day swap. I am going to bring the students a sweet treat to eat while they swap. Make sure to bring enough for everyone, I have 13 students.

Field Trip

The following is information reguarding our field trip to Gulf World:

It will be Thursday, April 18, 2013.

We will meet at Pike Lib at 6:15 and leave by 6:45 (at the latest).

It will cost $28.00 for child and $36.00 for chaperons. This includes van, gas, and ticket to gulf world.

You will need to pack a sack lunch and a drink. We will not stop to get food. We will eat during the Bottle-nose Dolphin Show.

There will be time for the students to go to the gift shop before we leave to get a souvenir.

We will leave Panama City at 1:30 and will return no later than 4:00.

We can take along seven parent chaperons (per class). Out of my seven chaperons two will need to be drivers.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions. :)

Edline

I messed up putting the grades in yesterday; it was on the SG2 under history. I updated the grades and posted the correct grades to edline. I am so sorry for the confusion.

Valentine's Candy Grams

The Government Club is trying to raise money for the 2013 Youth in Government programs. We are asking for you help. We are starting to sell our Valentine's Candy Grams tomorrow and continue through February 13. They will be delivered Thursday morning to your child's classroom. Candy Grams will be a sucker with a note attached that your child can send to whomever they would like to. Each Candy Gram will be fifty cents.

Spring Field Trip

We have decided where we will take our spring field trip! We are going to Gulf World in Panama City! I am very excited about this trip because I know the students will have so much fun and learn a lot from the different shows! We are taking three, twelve passenger vans, so we have to limit the amount of parents that can go. There can only be four parents from each class to come with us on this trip; out of those eight parents three will need to drive the vans. I am sad that we can't take along everyone, but with it being such a small class we didn't want to make the cost too high by adding another van. It will cost $42.00 for each child, add $28.00 for parent. This includes the ticket price, van rental, and gas for the van. Each child will need a sack lunch with a drink. We will eat at a picnic area around Gulf World. If you would like to go or be a driver please email me. I will draw to see which parents get to go. Again, I am sorry that we have to put a limit on the amount of parents, but please understand.  

We are looking at two different dates in April and I will let you know as soon as we decide.

We will leave PLA at 7:00 a.m and return around 4:30 p.m
