* Very important reminder that your child would want you to remember - they will have the opportunity to buy a Nancy's Italian Ice tomorrow (Monday, Sept. 12th) for $1.00.
* We will have a Science Voc. test this Wednesday. It will come straight from the study guide they have had on Chapter 1.
* We will have a Social Studies test on the Continents and Bodies of water this Friday. Your child brought a study guide home last Friday. They are responsible for only knowing where the Continents and bodies of water are located. They do not have to know how to spell them. We will be reviewing these all week in class as well.
* We will be making our Dirt Babies this Friday. A 2nd grade parent has sent in an extremely large amount of potting soil for all of 2nd grade. However, each class is still going to need a small bag in order for us to have enough. If I have a parent that would like to send this small bag of Miracle Grow in please let me know. I will provide the rest of the materials. The kids are so excited about doing this project! I am sure you have already heard about it. We're going to cross our fingers that our room will stay at a warm enough temperature for them to grow quickly. We are already seeing some growth in our indoor greeenhouse that we planted a week ago.
* Dibels results and Star reports for reading came home last week. Please make sure you send the Dibels results back in signed. You may keep that copy of the STAR report that was sent home.
* We now have our ZPD's (reading levels) and we can't get to the library fast enough! We are doing a great job of taking AR test. Whenever you would like to see your child's AR folder just ask them to bring it home to share with you. Please make sure your child brings their library books to school daily.
* We sure did have a fantastic time as everybody shared their About Me Poster last week. We learned so much about each other. I have loved learning more and more about our wonderful community of learners in room 124. One thing is for sure, Room 124 LOVES TO READ!!
* I introduced our reading groups last week as well as centers. I could not be more pleased with how well we did. We listened well and followed directions that were given.

Nancy’s Italian Ice Sales to begin MONDAY, SEPT. 12
Nancy’s Italian Ice will be here every OTHER Monday beginning next week, and students may purchase a little owl size Italian Ice for $1. A variety of flavors will be available. The school (not PTA) will receive at least 25 percent of all sales.
Just Give
As of this week more than $10,000 has been contributed to our Just Give Campaign! We only have ONE WEEK LEFT! Our goal is $25,000. If we meet this goal we will not have ANY fundraisers for the rest of the year! No cookie dough sales, and no gift wrap sales! If we do NOT meet our goal then we will have to schedule fundraisers. Details about Just Give and a current budget to see WHERE the PTA money goes are available on our web site at www.blountpta.org. If you have questions, please feel free to email Jeannine Morton-Brown, VP of Fundraising, at fundraising@blountpta.org.

The children are allowed to wear their Fall Festival shirts on Fridays as Spirit Wear this year. They will be delivered the week prior to Fall Festival.
