~~~~~~~Please note the following and mark your calendar:~~~~~~

Thanks for your help with this  Nov. 21st- 23rd- NO SCHOOL due to Thanksgiving Break  Enjoy and be thankful…   Nov. 26th- 30th- PTA’s Fall Book Fair Our buying day is Monday, the 26th! 

Sweet Sentence clarification: The Sweet Sentence will be written by your child, much like the spellingwords are. I read the sentence one word at a time for them. I apologize for the ambiguity.

On Monday, all Chargers went through a training called PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention System)and learned about our “Caught Shining” reward program. Ask your children all about it! Also, askthem about the new Voice Levels system being put into place. It might help out at home as well!  

From now on, Book-It reading logs will not be due until the first school day of the following month. Afew students were so into this program that they were disappointed they couldn’t read on that last dayof the month, and had to turn it in with one day unread. WOW! Impressive! When the OctoberBook-It forms were turned in, we went to the Book-It website on the eno board and each child got to“drag” his/her total minutes read over onto their name. Boy, did they think THAT was cool!

LUNCHROOM HELP: When packing lunch for your children, please be mindful of the small amount o

time they have in which to eat. Help me remind them that they may socialize, but to be focused ontheir  eating as well. Also, sending packages that are “started” for them may help them whenattempting to tear them open. Ziploc baggies/containers are a great idea, too.

Even though I had a scratchy voice, I thoroughly enjoyed conferences with you this week! Everyoneseemed quite knowledgeable and there really weren’t many questions/concerns. This tells me wemust have good communication established. GREAT! If, however, you got home afterward andhad a question pop into your mind, feel free to contact me! Truly, school/home communication is thekey to academic success!

Looking forward to the week ahead,
