How 'Bout Them Apples?

Hello Parents!!

Well, we've got quite a bit of information for this weekend.  So let's get to it.

First, this week we'll be studying APPLES and how they grow.  And in order to do that, we're going to need some apples!

It would be wonderful if we can get a donation of 21 apples for our Science Center.  Any kind, any color, any amount would be great.  You don't need to bring all 21, but any contribution would be helpful.

 Thank you in advance!

Monday is LIBRARY DAY and BLUE BEHAVIOR FOLDERS are due with a signature.

Wednesday is PICTURE DAY.  You can send your envelope to me or pay online.

Thursday is PHYSICAL EDUCATION (P.E.) and tennis shoes would be great.

Friday the RED FOLDERS are due. 

On Monday, a SCHOLASTIC BOOK order form will come home in the RED FOLDER.  If you would like to purchase books, you can go to the Scholastic website, put in my password, and order online.  Please let me know if you need the password.  I would appreciate online orders only, if possible.  Eliot's mom has offered to take care of our ordering, sorting, etc. 

Thanks for that!

Hello Parents!

If you asked me to sign up for classroom volunteering - thank you! thank you! thank you! - there should be a volunteer calendar in your child's backpack from Friday.

Your name is highlighted on that calendar.

Please email me at plettera@amphi.com if you see anything that needs to be changed.  I'd be happy to make adjustments.

Also, Sophia's volunteer calendar is coming home today.  Please look for it.

Thanks again for being a help in the classroom!
