No, I Didn't Forget This Time...

Hey, Ya'll!
I realize I caused quite a tizzy by not posting on the blog last Thursday night!  It got crazy in my world, so OOPS!  Thanks for understanding!  However, I am winding down from my weekend of travel plans, so I'm taking a minute to blog to you!

Last week was ONE CRAZY WEEK!  Wouldn't you agree?  Goodness, with all of that testing and coming off of a 3 day weekend, it was VERY tough to get into a routine.  Now, this week will be solid week of normal schedules and routines.  The ONLY 2 little "minor" changes will be on Thursday and Friday afternoons.

Heads Up for This Week!

Thursday:  We will have our Chip Shoppe Fundraiser kick-off to start filling up our Student Activity Fund that allows us to go on field trips, take special busses, bring in guest speaker and visitors, etc.  So, it's always great to get support from our families, friends and community when we start selling these goodies!

Don't forget about those prizes!!  

Friday:  Don't forget also that we have invited 5th graders to bring in ONE family member or close friend of the family to help celebrate reading and kick-off the Book-It program this Friday, October 2nd from 2:45 - 3:20!  About 1/4 of the 5B kids said YES, they have somebody coming, about 1/4 of them said NO, their parents can't make it and the other 1/2 of our 5B class HAS NOT ASKED!  So, to be fair to your parents/grandparents/etc., be sure to give them plenty of notice. That's why our note went home LAST Tuesday!  Be sure to bring anything that would make this reading experience comfortable (healthy snack/drink, pillow, favorite book(s) from home, blanket to snuggle up with, etc.)

Ok.. ALSO...  This week marks the start of our...

We had a GREAT discussion on Friday about what we are seeing in our classrooms, hallways, playground, bathrooms, lunchroom, etc. that are examples and non-examples of Cadet Pride. The blue note that you took home Friday should remind you and explain to your families what we are doing.  Remember, the bottom portion of that blue note is DUE BY this WEDNESDAY.  Being a student with Cadet Pride means being responsible to return that signed BY the date written by your teachers:)  

I'll be excited to celebrate with those students who continue to show or ones who have been working hard to improve their Cadet Pride on Friday!  I would LOVE it if our 5B classmates can be models for all of the 5th grade!  Let's be a true 5B Family ("We are family") and help each other out!  

Ok..   Finally... Blog Proof! This week will be back to normal so you'll need to do these things to PROVE you checked the blog... (write them down if you sometimes forget...)

1) Attendance Balloon

2) Get out ALL materials for switching classes

3) Have out your Blue Cadets Academy Note (signed by parents) next to you

4) Visit this TodaysMeet Link (click here) and write YOUR name and what you did this weekend! Be sure it is your FIRST NAME ONLY, no silly nicknames, otherwise I won't know it's you! See my example. 

**Don't do this now... WAIT until you come in Monday morning and post it then!  I'll know if you do it early because I have access to this link and when ANYBODY adds to it!  So, be honest, patient and wait until the morning!

Enjoy the rest of your fabulous Sunday weather! Don't forget we have P.E. on Monday!
