Parents, please look for some important papers in your child's Friday Folder this week. First, the information about the Washington D.C. trip will be coming home on bright pink paper. The paper includes a sample itetnerary on one side and the deposit form on the back. The cost is $399 per person. A $50 deposit per person is due by October 26th. No deposits will be accepted after this date. Deposits will be taken on a first come, first serve basis. Last year we had to turn some people away because we had too many for one bus, but not enough for 2 buses. Deposits will be numbered and dated as they come in. Any questions, please let me know.
We are also planning a field trip to the Museum Center for Wednesday, September 30th to see the Lewis and Clark movie and the Natural History Museum. Information about cost and chaperoning will be on the form.

Sept. 11th
Today we had a moment of silence to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. I also read a book about what happened that day so the students knew why we had taken a moment of silence.
Friday Folder reports are going home today. Some students have some missing work from this week written on the form. Also, several graded papers are going home. Students are permitted to correct and return papers they earned a D or F on. We will record the average of the 2 grades. Several papers I have requested students correct and return. Students will have one week to correct and return a paper.
Walk a thon collecting kicked off today. Students will be coming home with information about that.
Have a great weekend!!

AR up and ready to go
Today we finished our STAR testing to help determine reading levels, so students are ready to begin taking AR tests. Students will be expected to complete one AR test each week unless otherwise discussed with me. Students are given 30 minutes each day at school for AR reading.
Just a reminder there will be a spelling and reading test tomorrow.
