Snack
We have completely run out of snack. As it stands there about 5 students who bring in their own snack daily, which leaves the remaining 11 students to eat the classroom supply of snacks. This causes us to go through snack fairly quickly. Please either send your child with their own individual snack, or donate a bulk amount of snack to our classroom. Thank you!!!!

FYI
A couple of FYI items:
I've given the students a week off from Reading Logs so that they can have some extra time to practice their exhibitions.
Guided Reading will resume the week after exhibitions, so that I can reassess their reading levels.

Reminders
No School
There will be no school on Tuesday, November 3rd. Be sure to mark your calendar and make other arrangements.
Exhibitions
An exhibition sign up sheet will be going home tonight. On the form you will need to indicate your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices and return it to school as soon as possible.
Exhibitions will be held the week of November 16th. At this point your child should be finalizing their work for the exhibition project. In talking with many of the students, they have mentioned that they have not started their project and/or they're not sure what their project is about. I am extremely concerned that we'll have quite a few last minute projects. Please let me know if you have any questions about the exhibition project or you need me to assist your child with gathering resources for their project.
Attached to the exhibition sign up sheet you will find a rubric/scoring guide for the exhibition, as well as how the exhibition should go.

This Week in Room 218
Box Tops for Education
Our school is collecting Box Tops for education, which are often found on the tops of dry goods like cereal, or Hamburger Helper. The box tops are due on October 28th. Thank you in advance for your donation!
School Pictures
Kindergarten - 2nd grade will be taking school pictures on October 29th. More details will follow.
AMPP Blog
The AMPP staff has a blog also. Visit their website at http://upaelementaryampp.blogspot.com when you get a chance and add your email address to the subscription box. Instead of getting the AMPPliflyer newsletter like you did last year, they will post information on their blog only.
Book Fair
The Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success. We were able to raise enough money to purchase 30 books on CD for our students to enjoy. Thank you to those of you who came out on Literacy Night, and an even bigger thank you to Mrs. Bayi, Ms. Keyser, and Mrs. Hayes for all of your hard work!!! We couldn't have pulled it off without you!
Writing
This week we are continuing our unit on non-fiction writing. Last week, students published their "How-to" books. This week we will begin writing All-About Books. Please brainstorm with your child a list of topics they know all about it. For example, Karate if they take karate classes, or dolls if they collect dolls.
Math
No later than Tuesday of every week, you should receive your child's math test from the week prior. A 70% score is considered passing. If the test has a note on it, that says Parent Signature, please review the questions that your child got wrong then sign and send it back. It is critical that they master the items on each of the test, so please take time out to review with them.
That's all for now.
Looking forward to a great week,
Mrs. Gibson
