Problem of the day- March 25

	Word & Letter Play Animals in Hiding
	There is an animal hiding in each sentence below. Can you find the animals? Example: There's a bee in "I'll be eleven next month." Hint: You'll have to look in three words to find some of the animals. We can go at six o'clock. It's nice to do good deeds. Take soap and a towel. Most rich people wear fancy clothes. You can keep the watch or sell it. Use a ladder. It will be a rainy day. I came late. Tell me if I should start now. Will a map help you?

Economics Day Information

Hi Parents,

Thank you for sending in your Economic's Day supplies with your children. Most of you have sent in all of the necessary supplies! If you have not had a chance yet, please do so this week! I want to make sure that the disco is covered for the supplies that we will need. As I was out shopping, I saw that Micheal's Craft store has the glow bracelets for 1.00 for a pack of 15. I bought a couple of those, so those would be fine to send in too. I am also sending home a permission slip about the students getting their hair colored, nails painted, and temporary tattoos applied.. Many students like to do this, but we will need your permission to do so. Please return the permission slip as soon as possible so that I have those on hand for Economics Day.

As you probably know, Spring Picture Day is also on Economics Day. We will take our pictures before the start of Economics day at 9:00. Usually on Economics Day, the classes wear their t-shirts. If you would like for your child to wear a different shirt in their picture besides the class t-shirt, please send the class t-shirt with them in a disposable bag (grocery bag) and they can put their shirt on over their other regular shirt (if possible). Thank you for your help with this. :)

Have a great day!!

Problem of the day- March 24

	Two babies born on the same day in the same year with the same mother and father are not twins. Can you explain how this can be?

Supplies.... Behavior

Hi Parents,

    Two things that I want you all to be aware of..

1. We are running very low on pens, pencils, and notebook paper. If you all get a chance and could send some in, that would really help!!

    2. Spring fever is upon us! The children are certainly more talkative lately and some days it is hard to get them to focus as much as they should. I am currently writing more notes in agendas, taking money, and having many conversations with several students that otherwise, I would not have to. Please help support me with behavior at home by checking your child's agenda each day. If they are having a difficult time focusing and talking, please talk with them about it as well. Your support of their good behavior at school has a tremendous effect on the children!

Thanks again for checking the blog!! :)

Economic Day Supply Lists!

Parents,

I have sent home Economic Supply lists in your child's binder today. PLEASE look over them and let me know ASAP if you can find or send in the highlighted items. Our classroom is the Disco and will need water, glow necklaces, and some other things. I am sure you can find the glow necklaces at Dollar General and at Party America. We are responsible for at least 200 (for third grade), so if everyone can donate 2 packages of 5, that would cover us..

Thanks so much for your help!! It is not too late to join in the Economic Day fun!! If you would like to work in a store, please let me know!
