Great Job Team Hankins!

Wow-we are off to a FABULOUS start with our Read-A-Thon Reading. We read over 1200 minutes in just one night as a class!!! This definitely gives us the motivation to keep it up!! We had a few kids not bring their envelopes back and talked about how EVERYONE has to help out the team. They will be fined $100 for each day it is not returned starting tomorrow. Also, prizes for the minutes read so far were in the envelopes tonight so check your child's to see if they received a coupon. Also, make sure you initial each day also.
Tomorrow is Terrific Kids & BUG Club Assembly at 2:20. BUG Club is for those that brought up or maintained their grades from Q1 -Q2 and Terrific Kids Club is for students getting straight A's either 1st and/or 2nd Quarter. I hope to see those of you that got my email there if you can make it. If not, I will have pictures.
Speaking of pictures, I will have lots to make into a Smilebox this weekend. My new camera is a little bit more high tech than I envisioned but I will get it done.
Tomorrow we are doing some fun activities for the Super Bowl. Talk to your kids tonight about what it is and who is in this year and write Superbowl in the planner for free money.
Tonight's nightly writing is the final/Part 4 of the kite series. The kids are doing quite well on it and I told them to look back at their mistakes from the past 2 days to help them with tonights.
Tomorrow is technology buy-in day. Students may bring any device that allows them to listen to music for $400. This is totally optional.
On Monday, I will be collecting money for the Valentine's Day Party so we can start putting our committees together.
On the side of this blog is a list of students for valentines. Remember everyone has to get a valentine.
Students know that their valentine bag projects are going to be a home project along with a little nightly writing sometime next week. Don't panic-I have the bags for them already and it won't take lots of supplies, just creativity.
Library is tomorrow so get those books back.
Have a great night.
