FOOD DRIVE UPDATE

Can you believe that we the class has brought in 141 food items for the Worcester County Food Bank.  We still have 2 days to go.  Last day to bring in items is Wednesday, February 12th.  The class is now trying to reach 200 items!!!  If we work together, we may just reach this goal!!! 

February 6th Update

PEDOMETERS / LOGS ~   

Just a quick reminder to let you know that the pedometers and the COMPLETED log (front and back!) are due tomorrow  - Friday January 7th!  We've had 100% participation in the past and have earned class incentives both times for everyone completing and returning them on time!  Let's shoot for a third time!
***  If your child was ABSENT this week, they may keep the pedometer over the weekend, YET need to pass the pedometer and log in on Monday!

FOOD DRIVE ~

THANK YOU to those families that have helped us read our first goal of 100 cans!  Today we passed that goal and have collected 104 items!!!   The children set the next goal as 200!!!  This may be a lofty goal, but many have shared that they have not yet brought in their items!   We have until Wednesday February 13th to bring in items!   The many students whom have shared that they have saved and used their OWN MONEY to purchase items has touched me!!  Kudos to them!

READING TAKES YOU PLACES ~

Don't forget that the reading done for their nightly log can be used for a READING TAKES YOU PLACES slip!  Yet, the students need to remember to bring in the slips SIGNED by their parents.  We have some students who have reached the goal of 10 reading slips already, while others are lagging behind.  The program ends at the end of April.  Our class goal is to have EVERYONE receive a reading medal at the 4th grade completion ceremony in June!   Keep reading and REMEMBER THE SLIPS!

VALENTINES ~

In the Monday folder this week, I sent home a class list to use for Valentine cards.  If your child chooses to hand out Valentines, they need to include a Valentine for EVERY STUDENT in the class.    Remember, no candy / food can be attached to the cards!!!    We will be having a Valentine gathering on Friday the 14th.  The students may bring in an extra snack for the celebration!

Thanks for your continued support!
