Hi M1 parents!

Andrew Whitworth from the Cincinnati Bengals came into school yesterday to talk to all of our students. He shared his story of how he started playing football and encouraged the children to work hard in school.  He had a question and answer session that gave the kids a great opportunity to get to learn more about him.  We had some really great questions flying his way and all of us looked great wearing our Bengal gear.

I’d like to give a gentle reminder to check your child’s work plan in their orange folder every day.  It is great way to get to know what your child is working on through the course of the day. It also will list what work they are bringing home.  If homework is sent home in the orange folder, it is due the next school day.  Please remember to sign their work plan every day when you see it.  The rule in our classroom is that children who don’t have their workplan signed stay in from recess until they have finished a worksheet.

Spelling tests are this Thursday and the pre-test is this Friday.  Please work with your child on his or her spelling words.

The Walk-A-Thon is this Friday.  We will be leaving around 12:30 and returning around 2:00.  It is a dress down day for your child. Please remember to dress them comfortably with gym shoes. They’ll be doing a lot of walking and we want them to be comfortable.   Please send your child’s pledge forms back to school tomorrow (Thursday). 

Eric, Brittany, Jessica and Benjamin C. have Show and Tell this Friday. 

Our class is doing mass next Wednesday in case you want to join us. 

We would also like to mention that the VIRTUS training at POP will be next Thursday, September 18 from 6:30-10:00. If you plan on volunteering, you need this training. 

Thank you,

Sara and Katie
