Wow Work

This is some beggining of the year work we had done in class and that I wanted to share, most of them have names. The first one belongs to Cameron and the second picture belongs to Emma S.

Book Buddies

We have partnered up with Dr. Henderson's Third Grade Class and they come read with us every Tuesday morning. We look forward to the visits from our older friends!

Boosterthon

Friday in our Bulldog folders we will be sending out information about the exciting fundraiser B.W.E. has called Boosterthon. The children participate in a fun run to raise money for the school. Part of the event has to do with our door decoration. Wendy Nieto, our room mom, will be contacting you soon to see if you can help donate decorations and/or help decorate the door. Our theme for my classroom will be Mrs. Cox's Highway Patrol. I updated my teacher wishlist and am posting a working link because several of you let me know that you could not find it. Here it is:

Thanks again for everything, and be on the lookout for progress reports in Bulldog folders, also.
We are going to start setting up Parent/Teacher conferences very soon! Have a fantastic rest of the week!

More Reading week!

Reading for a better life was so much fun! We had athletes from the local High Schools come and read to our class, and the children were just in awe of these tall young men and women that visited.
Thank you for donating hats and/or money to the Heavenly Angels Foundation; I am sure they will be very thankful, also.
Here we are with our hats in Reading for a Better life campaign!

Oh and if you notice in the background, we are now spelling out "Popsicle" to earn a Popsicle party for good group behavior in the hallways. We have earned two compliments so we have two letters. The popcorn party was a hit and listening to their wild ideas about the kind of party they wanted to have was pretty funny.
Homework went out today in red folders, please send it back on Friday.
Our author visit is on Thursday and the Kindergarten team is asking for parents not to visit at lunch time that day as we will be eating in our classrooms.
You may send in the headphones for the laptops when you can; we are using the Laptop cart sometime soon in October.
The winners of the month for Bulldog Best are Carlos and Alana. They have shown the character trait of "Respect" all month long.  They get to participate in the popcorn party and award ceremony on Friday at 2:00 p.m.
Thanks again for everything that you do and for being an important part of B.W.E. because as Dr. Butler says in the announcements every day "B.W.E. is the best place to be!"

Star of the Week

We are loving our Stars of the week! The first star was Carlos and he brought in a special friend named Mr. Cuddles. Mr. Cuddles hung out with us and enjoyed reading with the class.
