Families of Room 31 ~
A few important updates / reminders:
1. PEDOMETERS - As part of the Health Curriculum and the Get Fit Grant your child will be given a pedometer to wear and a log sheet / food chart to complete. Monday October 21st – Thursday October 24th, the students are asked to wear a pedometer (in school and out!) and record the number of steps taken each day. They are also asked to record the healthy food items they ate throughout the day. Mrs. LeMay, Ms. Pacheco and I have reviewed this with the children. There is a SAMPLE chart being sent home. I recommend that you review this with the children and keep it in a safe place as we will complete this 4 times throughout the year.
The pedometer and the log are to be returned to school on FRIDAY October 25th. If everyone from the class brings back their pedometer AND completes and returns both side of the log, our class with receive a fruit tray later in November to enjoy! Let’s do our best to help the children remember to fill out their log and return everything on time!
If there are any questions, you can contact Mrs. LeMay directly at ~

2. MEDIA – Monday is media and the children have had two weeks to complete their books. Please remind them to bring them to school on Monday so they can take out new ones!
3. XTRA MATH and EVERYDAY MATH – Each child has been given a personal log in for both of these sites. I recommend that they log in and practice their facts as often as possible. We have 4 children who have completed their XTRA MATH facts already!!! Congratulations! You can access both of these sites along with our newsletters and other recommended websites via our class blog:

4. PARENT CONFERENCES ~ Please remember that Tuesday, November 5 has been set aside for Fall conferences and your child does not have school. I am sending home reminders of the time you are scheduled for with the children on MONDAY in their Blue Communication Folder. Attached is a sheet I would like you to fill out and return. Our conferences are short and I want to maximize the focus to meet your needs.
5. CHORUS CONCERT - The first fourth grade Chorus Concert is going to be held on November 21, 2013 at 6:30pm. More details will come from Ms. Fallis, the music teachers, as the date gets closer.
6. FAMILY FUN WALK - On Friday October 25th from 4:30 - 6:00 the Coolidge students and families are invite to join us at our 7th Annual Family Fun Walk. Children may wear costumes! There will be activities to complete, a chance to enter into a raffle and a bake sale. Our 4th grade student council members will be assisting at the Estimation Station and will be selling Glow-in-the-dark wrist bands. All proceeds are donated to St. Anne's Food Pantry. We hope to see you all there!
