Friday, September 13th

On Monday our school will begin our "community read".  This is a schoolwide opportunity for us to enjoy a book as an entire school community.  Our generous PTA donates one book per family.  These books will be distributed on Monday in class and will be read in class.  The oldest child in each family will receive ONE book.  This means that not every child in our classroom will have a book.  If you have an older child in school, your younger child in my room will not have a book.  If you would like to purchase an extra for your student to use in class when we are reading, we will be using the book "Restart" by Gordon Korman.  If you would like to order one for your child to have in class or to donate some, Amazon has a great price!!



We are having the best week so far and are loving your sweet kids!



BCS Character Ed Word of the Week: Kindness

   “You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”
                                                                                                           – Ralph Waldo Emerson



Please initial the planner each day at the bottom to show us that you are aware of what has been assigned!



The blue take home folder is in your child's binder!   Please have your child share these with you.  You will see papers in there throughout the year at random times.  Please prompt your child to bring you those items when they appear!



Ask your child if he/she is leaving class a lot to get a drink of water!  If so, please send your child with a WATER BOTTLE to keep here in class and refill each day!
