Grade Level shirts!

We have a lot going on this week.  Please note the following:

The previously scheduled PTA meeting for Monday, Nov. 5 has been cancelled

A sheet came home Friday letting you know about our grade level t-shirts.  Each grade has a different day to bring in the money for the shirt so please make note of it.  2nd grade is to bring in their order form and money this Wednesday, November 7th ONLY.  Please order carefully because they can't do any exchanges or refunds.  You may make a check out to Blount or send in $12 cash.  I won't be able to make change.  The kids will wear these shirts every Tuesday.  We will also wear them when we go on field trips for the rest of the school year. 

Remember that we will dismiss early this Friday at 1:10.  Then we will also be out of school Monday, November 12th for Veteran's Day. 

Class Pictures came home last week.  Please return those if you are planning on purchasing them. 

State Project assignments came home last week.  Last year when my son did this project, we purchased a white box from Michael's that was in the exact shape of a shoe box.  This will cut out a little work if you would like a little short cut.  :)  I wouldn't be surprised if Hobby Lobby has them as well, but I haven't looked for them there.

Please do not forget that if your child is absent from school I have to have a sickness related excuse to send to the office in order for it to be excused. 

Reminder about money that comes in:  Lunch money and snack/juice money go to two separate places.  This money has to be sent in separately and in separate envelopes.  It does not go to the same account.  Nancy's money also has to be sent in separately. It would also be very helpful if your child's lunch money has their name and lunch account written on it.  Thanks for your help. 

I have a new web site to share with you for learning Math Facts.  I was told about it as my son was learning multiplication facts in 3rd grade.  It also has addition and subtraction that would be excellent practice for your child, along with Math Facts in a Flash.  I added the site to our list of sites on the right side of our blog.  It's called Oswego Math.  Have your child check it out.
