Hello Everyone!

Sorry it has taken me so long to get my blog up-dated. I really have no excuse other than I have just forgot that I have one.
Anyways, there are some events that are coming up that you will need to be aware of, and they start after the Harvest Holiday break. On the Tuesday that we get back, we will be starting our Red Ribbon week. I have sent home a letter that explains what your child will need to have ready for each day of the week. In case you didn't receive that letter, here is a run down of what will be going one each day. On Tuesday the theme will be Rock Star Day; Be a "rock star" and just say NO. Students will need to dress up as their favorite rock star. Wednesday the theme will be Hippie Day; Peace out to drugs. Students will come to school dressed hippie style. Thursday is Sports Day; Champions don't use drugs. Students are to wear their favorite jersey, or cap. On Friday we will have Superhero Day; I have the power to say NO. Students come dressed as their favorite superhero. The poster contest was optional in our room, but if your child did a poster, those are due tomorrow, Wednesday, October 20th.
Our PTA is also doing the Reflection this year and the Theme for that is "Together We Can". This activity is also optional in our room, but students will receive 50 extra credit points if they choose to do it. Entries are due Nov. 10th.
The PTA is also doing a Healthy Lifestyles Week the week of November 5-12th. They will call this fun event "Green Ribbon Week". We will have all sorts of activities that will help us learn how to be more healthy. We will be sending more information on this event as it gets closer.
We are just getting into second quarter, so remind your child to stay caught up from the get-go, because life is a lot easier, for all of us, when they do. A lot of my students are well on their way with the Reading Revolution Reports, but I do have a few that still need to get going. If students are reading their 20 minutes each night, it should be very easy for them to get 2 books done in a quarter, if not more.
I do appreciate all of you coming to meet with me at SEOP's. I hope that if any of you ever have any questions or concerns that you will call me. I have really enjoyed this group of students, so far this year. Thanks for all you do to help me out with your child. Sincerely, Mrs. Little.
