Thursday Surprise!

Well, well...  I guess I was quite surprised about no school today.  How about you?  I know we have a lot to do, but I definitely enjoyed another day off with my family.   Isaiah slept in until almost 9:00 this morning!  Hopefully, some of my 5B Babycakes got to do the same!

If you didn't check the blog from Wednesday, go back and read the post before this one.  It'll give you a way to prove you checked the blog.

News!!!
5B WON the Dress Up Your Teacher Book-It Challenge - 5B (16 handed in completed), 5C (14 handed in), 5A (13 handed in)... That means 43 students took the time to read, make the goal, get their parent's signature and were responsible enough to bring it in on the expected day.  The teachers are SOOOOOO proud of you!  It was so close!  Remember though, the teachers decided it would be even MORE fun to have those of you who participated get to dress up your homeroom teacher and then have a dress up day for our classes.  This "dress-up" day will be on Thursday, February 16!  So, start getting your ideas, plans ready!  We'll have a fashion show to "model" the teachers' new looks!  Yikes!

Reminders or Updates....
1) No Social Studies Test on Friday- we'll move it to Monday!  That doesn't mean you shouldn't be studying tonight!
2) Last Fun Freaky Friday is tomorrow for those from Group 2 (make-up from snow day).
3) Carnation and Book Orders are due by Monday... Of course, it's good to bring it in early, too.  I have extra forms in the room if you need more.
4) Conference Online Sign-Up - remind your parents to sign up before next Wednesday.   Also, make sure your parents know that they should only be signing up with me as your homeroom teacher.  If they want to chat with Mrs. Halverson or Mrs. Wilson, they'll have to email, call or make an appointment for another day since the conference days/nights are filled with homeroom students.

Ok, well, I guess I'll see you for one last day of the week!  You have art AND guidance tomorrow, so the day will go by quickly, I'm guessing.  Also, if you have ANY props or crafty items at home you want to use for background stuff for the play, PLEASE bring them for Friday.  We'll start some work on it in Literacy!

Hope you enjoyed your day off!  Also, I'll know you checked the blog if you checked yesterday's blog!
