FALL FESTIVAL

WEEK IS HERE!!!
I sure do hope everybody is able to attend our Fall Festival this year.  It is this Thursday, Oct. 20th from 4:30-7:30.  It is a guaranteed great time for everybody, so please come if you are able! If you didn't purchase wristbands ahead of time, you are still able to purchase them at the gate.

From the PTA:
Anyone in grades 1st, 2nd, and 3rd wishing to donate a prize (<$5) or cake to the prize walk may do so from now until Oct. 19th. Please bring your cakes no earlier than the 20th.

Please remember to send in your child's permission slip and money for our field trip to Lanark.  I was curious about the 5 chaperons per class rule that they have so I called them to check on it.  I personally feel much better having many adults with us out in the woods and near the water.  Lanark told me that they were having a little bit of a problem with the adults visiting during their demonstrations etc. So I tell you that to let you know that if you would still like to join us I think it will be okay as long as we are mindful of this situation.
Also, if your child is bringing a lunch from home, please make sure it is in a zip loc bag.  You can put everything in a paper sack but then but that in a zip loc so it doesn't get wet in the cooler.  We want to be able to throw everything away after we eat.
If I have a parent that would like to send waters please let me know. 
Students may wear their Blount Spirit wear on field trip day.
Email me if you have any questions.

In Math this week we will finish up Chapter 3 with Comparing and Ordering Numbers.  We will be ready to test on Chapter 3 this Thursday.  Make sure your child does the Math review sheet for homework Wednesday as a review.

A study sheet will come home Monday with your child for Social Studies.  This is simply a review of what we already know.  Your child will have a test on Thursday. 

The Community Book parts look wonderful.  We will be sharing them tomorrow and then making our book.  We were unable to get to them Friday because we were so busy making skeletons.

Please let me know if you are able to send in a pumpkin the week of Oct. 24th.  We have several Math and cooking activities we would like to do with one.  Thank you.




If you are ordering school pictures, please send the money in by this Friday.

Remember that Nancy's is available for purchase every Monday now.  $1.00

Please email me with any questions you may have.

Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Culp
