Happy Tuesday, everyone! It's been a while since I've posted on my blog because I have really enjoyed using Bloomz! If you haven't yet downloaded the Bloomz app, please consider doing so! It's been so easy to post pictures and reminders. It's like a private Instagram or Facebook! Just download the app then enter the access code for our class: P3YP3S.
There is so much excitement going on at Whiteside right now! Here are some reminders for you:
~Wednesday, October 17-- Early Dismissal 2PM. It is also hat day. For $1 your child can wear a hat during school hours. The money collected funds our Character Education Program.
~ Wednesday, October 17 is the spaghetti dinner in our school cafeteria. If you haven't bought tickets yet, please consider doing so. You can call the office 239-0000 ext. 2117 or 2114 for ticket information.
~ The book fair is going on this week. We will visit the book fair during our library time on Thursday. If your child would like to buy some books, please send money, in an envelope, marked with "Book Fair." The Book Fair will also be open during the Spaghetti Dinner!
~ This is Fire Safety week. We have been discussing ways to stay safe and escape plans in case of a fire. Please discuss fire safety at home and talk about your best escape routes, as well as a safe meeting place for your family OUTSIDE of your home (ex. the mailbox, a neighbor's driveway, etc.) We had a visit from the East Side Fire Department today. We had a practice fire drill, we visited the smoke trailer and practiced escaping, and we got to see a firetruck up close, as well as all of their equipment. Look at Bloomz later today for some great pictures of your kids during our fire safety training!
~ Next week we have scheduled parent teacher conferences. Please come only at your scheduled time. I have no more openings on Tuesday and no more openings on Thursday evening. A note was sent home with your child reminding you of the time you signed up for OR scheduling you for a time that I had available if you hadn't signed up at Open House. If you have not returned that to school, please do so tomorrow. Thank you!
~ Tuesdays conferences are AFTER school. School IS IN SESSION on Tuesday, October 23.
~Thursdays conferences are ALL DAY. There is NO SCHOOL on Thursday, October 25.
~There is NO SCHOOL on Friday, October 26.
~Our classroom Halloween party will be on Wednesday, October 31, from 1:30-2:30. Thank you SO MUCH to Aiden's mom who volunteered to be in charge of our classroom parties. A note is coming home today about the Halloween party. If you would like to help, please contact Mrs. Kornegay. Whiteside does NOT wear costumes to school on Halloween. Please send your child in regular clothes that day. However, we will be having a Hat Day that day for UNICEF, so if your child has a fun Halloween related hat, that would be welcome, of course!
~General reminders: Please try to schedule doctor's appointments on days other than Fridays if you can help it. This will keep your child from missing tests. Thanks to those of you who have given me advance notice if your child is going to miss a Friday. It enables me to give them their work and/or tests early instead of trying to catch them up after the fact. Along those same lines, anytime that you have advance notice of your child missing school, please let me know so I can send work home ahead of time. Please make every effort to get your child to school by 8:30. We start our lessons right away and when they are late they have to make up their work later in the day. It's just not a great feeling to start your day already behind!
We use "XtraMath" to practice math facts on the Chromebooks every day. CONGRATULATIONS TO AJANI AND DANIEL for demonstrating mastery of the addition table by answering all Beginning Addition Facts in under 3 seconds!
CONGRATULATIONS TO OWEN AND ALIVIA for turning in EVERY homework assignment from the first quarter complete and on time!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS to the following students for having green, blue, or purple days the entire first quarter of school:
Alivia, Daniel, Rayla, Owen, Mylah, Semaj, Piper, Samiya
Have a great evening!
Hugs & High Fives,
Ms. Bleich :)
