Good Afternoon!
Today, I just want to drop a few friendly reminders for you all! Next week is fall break, so that means there will not be any school! I hope this break is a relaxing time for you and your family. Our school is participating in a peanut butter drive sponsored by the Cheesecake Factory. This food drive benefits the local Feeding America chapter. Our class is part of a competition to see which class can bring the most peanut butter jars. The size and brand of the jar does not matter, so please consider donating a couple of jars to this wonderful cause! The top three classes will receive a prize and get a cheesecake party! My class won last year, so I'd love to have another great turn out this year. Also, we are about to begin our reading competition, Buzzer Readers (formerly Jacket to Jacket). In this competition, students record the number of pages they read each day. Please help your student document their progress with the reading logs that will be sent home when we return to school. The program runs from Oct 1-Oct 31. Our goal in our class is for each student to have 5,000 pages read during the month of October. Please support this goal by having students read at home for 20 minutes each evening. Students will also be allowed time at school to read independently. You can also count books you read together! Check out these helpful hints for parents to support their student's reading ability at home. Finally, students have been assigned their long term project for Esperanza Rising. It will be due October 11th. I meant to give students their graphic organizers to get started with their project over break, but time ran out before I could distribute them. Since this is the case, I will post them here for your reference, and they will be available to students when they arrive after break. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message on class dojo or comment below. I will be available throughout the break to answer your questions and offer guidance. -Miss Dobbins
