Can We Keep the AWESOMENESS GOING?!!

I think so, 5B!!!

I thought I'd break down the blog into a few different areas!  Read each topic to get ready for the week.

COMPLIMENTS to YOU!
Last week, was A-MAZ-ING!!!  After school on Friday I talked to Mrs. Kriener (sub for science) and she said that 5B was her best afternoon class!!!  I wanted to hunt you all down and HUG YOU!  I was so happy to hear it!  But I guess I'm not surprised because last week was a memorable week in our school year as far as Cadet Pride!  So impressed!

Marvelous MISIC EFFORT!
You all did a fantastic job taking your time to see your skills in math with the MISIC test on Friday.  I thought everyone really showed excellent patience, effort and taking the test seriously!  I think the gum-chewing seemed to keep you awake, too!  So, please remember you are allowed to bring gum to chew for another MISIC test on Monday @ 8:45 and Tuesday @ 8:45.  These will be the Reading Tests and Language Tests!  I can't wait to see you keep the effort going - ESPECIALLY on a Monday!

HATS OFF to RESPECT and STAYING DRUG FREE!
Remember, this week is Character Counts Week.  You should have your dress up days ready for each day of the week.  Monday is HAT DAY!  Have fun with it.  You may also start bringing in any items for the Citizenship Project to donate to soldiers on Monday.  There should be a large box for collecting these items.  If you can't find it, then just bring it to our room, and we'll figure out where to put them.

CONFERENCES:)
Please remind your families to sign up for their conferences online using the direction page that was sent home LAST MONDAY.  The sooner you get signed up, the more options you have to choose from if you have a busy schedule.  Also, since this conference is all about...hmmmm....who??? OH, YOU, you are asked to be present at the conference with your family:)  It would be pretty silly to have a conference ALL ABOUT a person who isn't there, wouldn't it be???  Yeah, I thought so, too!  So, have your parents keep that in mind when they sign up by avoiding times you may have football practice, dance, gymnastics, Tae Kwan Do, piano lessons, babysitting, etc.  OK?  We can chat more about that this week, too.

HEADS UP for PARENTS READING with KIDDOS!
A note will come home either Monday or Tuesday of this week notifying your family of a date they can come visit you at school, read something enjoyable, work toward your Book-It goal (300 min.) and munch on a healthy snack.  It will be a morning time somewhere between 10:00 - 11:30 am.  So, have your parents check their work schedules to see if it will work this month.  If not, it's alright.  We'll have more opportunities to have families come in for a visit.

I'll know you checked the blog if you tell me what you voted for on the Halloween Poll at the top right side of the blog.  You can choose from 4 different options.  I'm curious what 5B does on Halloween.
