Red Ribbon Week

October 27th – 31st, 2014

 

This upcoming week, we will be celebrating Drug Awareness week to show our commitment to be a drug free community. Each day this week we will be doing different activities at school to show our pledge to be drug free! J If your child participates each of the 5 days, he or she will receive a coveted SPIRIT STICK that says “Drugs are Despicable” to hang from their backpack! The schedule follows…

Monday… We will sign a banner and pledge to be drug free.

Tuesday… Discuss what things you could do instead of doing drugs! (Discussing this at home would be a great thing too!)

Wednesday… We will commit to being drug free and wear RED shirts. (Pictures will be taken this day!)

Thursday… STOMP OUT DRUGS by wearing mis-matched shoes!

Friday…We will show our understanding that drugs are used for cures by wearing PINK. (This will be when we take our annual PINK OUT picture!)


News in the rooms…

We are still taking money and forms for parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles to join our PTA! Please sign up by sending the form and $8.50 with your child to school. The class with the most participation gets a pizza party! J

This year we will continue to focus Colleges. The more this is discussed the more it helps students develop a plan for after high school. J We are planning for your child’s future! We have already celebrated Career Day this year and now one Tuesday a month, we will have a day to show our love for our favorite college! The schedule is found here... on this link below!

HOMEWORK THIS WEEK…

Please be reading with your child for 20-30 minutes nightly. If you would like to have additional comprehension questions you can print them off in this PDF (there is also information about helping your kiddo with math too!)

Your child would also benefit from memorizing their multiplication facts using flash cards. They can easily be found in Target, Walmart, Dollar Store, etc. You could also make them at home. J This memorization will not only benefit them now, but will stick with them throughout their lives!

Thanks again for visiting! :)
