Read-A-Thon Packets Came Home Today

The PTA Read-A-Thon fundraiser packets came home today. Students are to keep track of their nightly reading on them along with our monthly class reading calendar. As you can see on the packet, you are to write and initial the amount your child read each night. Students can also get sponsors to sponsor them such as 25 cents for each hour or the sponsors can give a flat donation. Mr. Senitte s challenging the school to read 45,000 minutes. If we achieve that, he will be sawed in half on the Family Fun Spaghetti night in March. Sign up as soon as you can as the space in the gym is limited for this fun function. All the information about this is on the packets.

We are winding down the Science unit on dormancy and we are going to end with volcanoes. We have talked about how volcanoes also go dormant. All the information and requirements for making a volcano will be sent home tomorrow. These will be done at home and returned next Monday when we will explode them. Fun-fun :)

Ask your child who our HR was about today and have them give you a fact they learned. If they can tell you whom it is, then write the name in the planner for money at check in.

Winter Carnival is on Friday. Again the 4th grades do the famous cake walk. Please send any baked goods to school on Friday for this. Each cake or plate of baked goods is worth $100 fake money. Thank you so much for all your help and support in this. Also, both classes earned $70 to put toward our Family Game Night basket. It is going to be an AWESOME basket.

Great job to the kids as they had an awesome week last week and earned their celebration so we will do that on Friday by watching the movie Alaska. I have popcorn for them and they can bring a drink to enjoy.

Thank you and have a great night.
