Classroom update 12/12/13

Sorry so late with the update... crazy busy week!


Penguin Patch shopping for family gifts is today and tomorrow. Our time is today, but kids who forgot money today can go back and shop tomorrow afternoon as well.


Ski trip forms will be coming home today or tomorrow. We'd like to have everything signed and returned by next Wednesday, December 18th. Parents who ARE skiing, please fill out all appropriate forms.  The liability release is for your child. Please make sure you sign this for them. 


   Parents who are NOT skiing and who just want to go and hangout and watch in the lodge need not fill out any forms other than to indicate that you are going but not skiing.


There will be an email coming today from Mrs Buell with more details, as well information about an upcoming social studies test.


As of today, MOST of our class is already at 100% of their A.R. goals for this marking period. Wahooooooo! Great job parents pushing them to read at home.  Any student who is not yet at their 50% goal (this was due last Monday) will have an email sent home to you today.

Coke Rewards:  If you or your family consume coke products ( I personally am an addict!) and you DON'T redeem the rewards under the caps or inside the box cases, would you mind terribly if you saved and brought them to me??  Every 1400 points earned allows me to get a $20.00 gift card to Barnes and Noble which allows me to buy books for the classroom. Its a bit of work but HEY!  Free money is free money!  Just rinse the caps and stick them in a plastic bag.  Codes are inside the boxes the cans come in... usually at the end designed to be opened. Just cut those out and send those in the same way you would box tops. 


     I actually used one of the coke rewards gift cards last night at barnes and noble.. a lot of the kids have really gotten into the Percy Jackson Series, So with my educator discount AND the coke rewards $20.00 certificate I was able to buy 4 new Percy Jackson books. I had some pretty happy Peeps this morning! (Love love love buying books at barnes and noble!)
