Just a reminder that tomorrow is our field trip. Please make sure your child dresses comfortably so they can learn and have fun. I sent you an email if you chose to pack a lunchbox for your child as a reminder. Please check your email. Many thanks to Mrs. Bryson, Mrs. Cox, Mrs. McLeod, Mrs. Hemmingsen, Mr. Filardo and Mrs. Grant for offering to join us. The kids are really excited!

All 9's in specials!!!!

Whose class had all 9's for the entire week of specials? OURS! So Mrs. Chern HAD to do something special, so.... we got out tissue paper and got ooey and gooey. Look at what we made!

We learned that working as a team to make the most of our time together with our Specialist teacher is a win win for all of us. We get to learn a lot in our specials, our special teacher is happy, and we are happy. We can't wait to do this again.

Book It came home today!!!!

What is Book-IT and How do I use it?

Since 1984, the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! National Reading Incentive Program has been dedicated to the mindset that, to make a difference, you really have to Read Your Heart Out.™ It’s a personal challenge to turn have to read into a want to read. Every day.

The program runs from October - March.

• The reading goal is set (10-15 minutes per day)
• The achievement is rewarded (color in a shape each time the goal is made)
• The certificate is redeemed at the end of the month (turn in your log at the end of the month)
• Get praise, Passport to Reading, and Pizza Hut pizza
• Watch for the smile :).

There is an app you can download so you can track your minutes all online. If you are interested in using the app instead of coloring the paper let me know and I will add you to our class. There is a dragon avatar your child can create and for minutes reading they earn coins to "shop" for things for their dragon. Sounds like fun if you would like your child to use technology. 

I encourage you to visit the Pizza Hut Book It Website at http://www.bookitprogram.com/. This is where you can make a pledge to read each night as well as find resources about how to read with your child and how to help your child become a stronger reader.
