Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!!

We went outside. (Brooke)

We got to make family trees with our grandparents. (Anna) Such a fun event! I created a video montage of the event! Check it out! Grandparent's Day Video on Twitter

We did Crimson’s Me Bag. (Randy)

We did morning meeting. (Pritish)

We did math. We did a shapes game. (Aidin)

We wrote about our families in our One and Only Me book. (Riley) We also read a book called Families are Different. This brought up a lot of questions about divorce, adoption, etc. This would be a great conversation to have with your student tonight! We talked about how all families stick together with a very special kind of glue…love!

We did P.E. We played Bocce ball. (Brock and Rilen)

Today in your child’s folder you will find information about our field trip to Peach Tree Farms! Please read over this information carefully and fill out the bottom portion of the form!

Time to start thinking about our class raffle basket for the Cougar Fun Fest.  For those of you who are new to our school, each class decides on a theme for our class raffle basket.  The Fun Fest committee will be delivering boxes to all of the classrooms early next week and ask that we work with our class parents to help get donations brought in.  Then on Monday, September 22nd, PTA will come around and collect all of our items.  The committee will then assemble your "basket" and it will be on display all day and evening on Friday, October 3rd for the Fun Fest.  They sell raffle tickets and students and families will drop tickets in to the basket(s) that they want.  At the end of the evening, PTA draws out tickets and we have lots of winners!  Our class basket theme is “Lego Lovers”! Please feel free to donate items that fit with this theme! Examples would be The Lego movie, Lego books, Lego games, Lego sets and models, etc.

Thanks!!!
