Hi! Just a reminder that it's Red Ribbon Week and tomorrow's theme is "I'm too smart to mess up my dreams, wear a hat to show you use your brain!" Thus, your child can wear a hat to school tomorrow. My rule on this is that the hat must stay on their own head or in their own cubby. We do NOT share hats for sanitary reasons and they can not be a distraction to learning. :)
Also, there is a homework assignment for Mrs. Lloyd that is due tomorrow. We are learning about the character trait "Honor" this month. Honor means letting someone know you see how valuable they really are. The assignment is to ILLUSTRATE a picture of yourself showing honor to someone. Then WRITE a sentence to describe what you are doing in the picture. (Pictures are preferably colored and show some thought and effort).
Just a reminder that report cards were sent home on Friday. Please sign and return these tomorrow if possible. It is very important for me to know you are aware of your child's progress. I also sent Dojo Reports home today in yellow folders. Please sign and return these as well.
HOMEWORK FOR MY 3RD GRADE READING CLASS ONLY:
*Log
*Study DRs Week 10 (Quiz on Thursday 10/24)
*Study Vocabulary from "Prudy's Problem" (sent home today) Quiz on November 1st!

Fall Festival Auction Basket
Don't forget that our PTO Auction/Chili Supper will be on Friday, November 8th! This is one of my favorite events of the year. The biggest money-raiser for our school that night is our THEME BASKETS. Our class has been assigned to create a "Made in Kentucky" Theme Basket to be auctioned off that night. This includes Kentucky Proud Items such as Ale-8-One, Beef Jerky, Jams/Preserves, BBQ Sauces/Rubs, Art, Crafts, etc. For a list of additional items, check out www.kentuckyproudmarket.com.
Our class will need to collect items to contribute to this basket. Remember that the more great stuff we include in the basket, the more money can be raised for our school. Please start shopping now so that we can get our basket together. We'd like to have all the items collected by November 4th. Thanks so much for your help. We couldn't do it without you!

TGIF
We had our first assembly of the year today and celebrated with awarding students for Honor Roll, Perfect Attendance, and Good Character for the first grading period. Report cards came home today and a copy of your child's MAP Test was included. MAP testing is done three times a year (fall, winter, spring). Since this was the first one, we will be looking for GROWTH as the year goes on. Showing progress is the key on this. Please go over this report and the report card with your child. You can keep the MAP report, but please sign and return the report card next week. Please call or email me to set up a conference to discuss your child's progress and/or any other concerns you may have. We won't be doing a "conference night" like we have in the past, so I am flexible on when we can meet.
Have a great weekend!!!

Kentucky Kids' Day 2013
Friday was Kentucky Kids' Day at SGE. This year's theme was International Cultures. The second and third grades focused on Africa. Since we have been focusing on animals and habitats in Science, we decided to go with an African Safari theme in our hallway. Our class researched giraffes and wrote informational paragraphs about them. We even turned our classroom door into a giraffe!
The fourth and fifth grades focused on Europe. They made us "passports" so we could visit some of the different countries in Europe. We saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy....
...and we visited England. We got to see Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and we even caught a glimpse of the Queen of England! Here she is outside the palace with her guard, Prince William, and Princess Kate.... (I especially LOVED the queen!)
We heard several guest speakers from various cultures. We enjoyed some music and dance from China....

...but I think everyone's favorite was the African drums...
Overall, I think it was a FUN day and a great learning experience for all! I hope everyone has a safe and restful Fall Break!!
