CONGRATULATIONS: A huge shout out to all the students who participated in UIL and Science Fair this week. They were all so successful in many areas, and they have many reasons to be proud. We know these activities are only possible because of your additional support.
ECONOMICS UNIT: Third grade teachers are amazed at some of the goods your children have produced. We truly appreciate the help you have given your child. All 12 products are due on Monday, February 8th. Also, make sure you have marked your calendars for the big sale! Thursday, February 11th, students will stay after school and start selling at 2:45. Our target completion time is around 3:45, so please make arrangements for transportation and activities.
DONATIONS: Students voted and have chosen “Water To Thrive” to receive all money earned and donated during our economics unit. We will include all the money received for the sale of products plus the money from the bake sale.
BAKE SALE: If you haven’t already sent in your PINK bake sale donation form, please return the form by February 1st. Your “goodie” doesn’t have to be delivered until Thursday February 11th by noon. Thank you for helping with the sale! We could still use a volunteer or two. Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you!
BUCKLE DOWN: Student books that were ordered went home with your student this week. Please check their backpacks if you have not seen them. If your student works in them, they may record the time on their Reading Log.
