We have our six pumpkins!  Thank you Cathy Piper and Rebecca Miller!!!!
Also, many others have signed up for the other items.  I knew I could count on my parents!!!
Thank you

We need.....

Many of you have been so kind and asked if I need anything for the classroom.  We've been in pretty good shape so far, but now I have a list.  If you can donate any of the items it will be greatly appreciated!

If you will provide an item just note that in the comment section so that we don't have parents overlapping.

Here is my wish list:
6 medium size pumpkins, Kroger has them buy one get one free!  We will use these for math: estimating, measuring and graphing.  Then, I plan to have a big pumpkin rolling contest to practice measuring.

5 bags of candy corn.  We will use these for units of measurement, and practicing our spelling words.

4 bags of autumn mix, candy corn of different colors and pumpkins in orange and yellow.  Planning on a little graphing!


For making a catapult in a STEAM activity:
1 bag of candy pumpkins, the ones like candy corn
popsicle sticks, at least 100
20 plastic spoons


200 color toothpicks for practicing spelling words
40 wiggly eyes, for turkeys


ALL students will need to bring two rolls of toilet paper.  We need the whole thing, not just the roller.  We are planning to make turkeys on our visit to Lanier Gardens and one for home.

Again, I will appreciate any help you can give.  I'd like to have the items by next Monday so we can get rolling in the fall fun!!!

NOHS Pep Rally is Friday at 7:30 in the gym.  Wear your pink for the "Pink Out."

Signed Papers

This week I will ask students to return graded work.  Please initial the packet stamped "Sign and Return."
You will see a new Rocket folder that I will use only on Friday for information and graded work.  The regular blue will still come Monday-Thursday.
I will do this once a quarter.  Thank you!

Reading Log:

I will be sending a new reading log on Tuesday. Oct.11th.  Please have your child, not you, fill out the reading log this time.  We need to learn that titles need capital letters on all the important words. What better way to learn this standard than actually using it?

Also, please don't use Tumble Books on the log the next nine weeks. Make sure the book your child is reading is a book at his/her level or slightly above.
