October 28, 2011

Dear Families,

        What a week!  Thank you so much for all of the milk jugs that we received!  Our milk jug jack-o-lanterns were a success!!

We began our new reading program and stations this week, and the students are doing great!  I am so thankful, every day, for the nice group of students we have in our room!

One of our new stations is the Listening Station.  The students listen to books on CD each day.  I have 2 personal CD players for them to use—one works all the time, and one works when it wants to.  If you have recently upgraded to an ipod, or mp3 player and would be willing to donate a CD player to our classroom, it would be much appreciated and well loved!

            Another piece of our new reading program that we will be starting soon is a Read-to-Self time each day.  Each student will have their own book box of books to read during this time.  For their book box, we are asking for a large size cereal box that we will transform into a customized book box.  If you could send these in as soon as possible, that would be great!

            Also, we would like to thank all of you that have participated in our Mileage Club this fall.  We will be pausing our Mileage Club for the winter, and beginning again in the spring.  The last day for Mileage Club this fall is today, Friday, October 28.

            If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about your child or our classroom, or anything really, please feel free to contact me by email or note anytime.
