Just a reminder that your child is out of school Friday and Monday.
The Tiger Trot-a-thon has begun. Make sure your child is doing the daily training schedule. The folders to collect money will go home tomorow. (8/31)
Don't forget tomorrow is Curriculum Night. I hope to see all of your smiling face.

2 weeks have already flown by! I can hardly believe it. I must say I am truly impressed with how diligently they have worked. They have done a great job learning the procedures. We have had a few drills this week and they transitioned smoothly. I hope to see everyone tonight at the Back to School picnic. If you dunk me just a FYI you will have extra homework. ;)
Next week is the last week of the month... Spirit Day.

What a great first start to school. Your students received their agenda's today. The first agenda will be provided by the school. If they lose it the replacement fee is $5.

We have snack every day after specials. Please send your child in with a healthy snack. I am not the snack police and I understand that some days can get crazy so I really don't mind fruit snacks, breakfast bars, ect.

Water bottles: Some kids have already brought their water bottles in and I love it! Please only put water in them.

Technology communication update:
If you have not signed up for reminders please text @msjsam to 81010.
Follow me on twitter to see examples of some of our work. @mjsames

Edmodo: The students will have most of their homework from me assigned through Edmodo. (They call it a Facebook for kids.) Their user id will be their lunch number and the password is their birthday. (Example: July 4, 1981 is 0704198) If your child has their a device of their own there is a free app for Edmodo. If you have any questions/concerns please feel free to email.

One... more... thing.... I'm sure they have told you about our class pet. He is a 3 year old gecko named Jordan. They kids have asked if they could take him home on the weekends every now and then. I am working on getting us a travel tank so that this is possible. (Sorry for those how do not like reptiles.)
