What a GREAT Homecoming Week!

5B showed so much school spirit last week!  It was so tough deciding on those Spirit Awards!  Thanks for all of our 5B Family (we are family...) for making an effort and showing you know how to have a good time working as a TEAM!

Friday's pep rally was a BLAST!  Here are a few pics!

Great job to Kelly for representing our 5th grade in the pom-pom challenge!!  You go, girl!

This week will be pretty normal for us.  And as we left on Friday, we had a serious family discussion about....

It's fantastic that we have fun in school!  That's definitely the way I like to approach almost EVERYTHING... but if our "fun" and excitement takes over our Cadet Pride and self-control, then it's not working.  We discussed this and most everyone agreed that we NEED to work on our transitions (talking, off-task, taking too long, not getting right to it, etc.).  We are coming to the end of our 1st quarter as 5th graders.  It is definitely time that we see a difference from the beginning of the year to now.  Let's see the change...

Our Cadets Academy help many of you with your self-control, but we still need to remember to...

Let's DO THIS!! 

Ok...Reminders for the Week...

#1:  Keep selling for our Chip Shoppe fundraiser!  It's due on Wednesday of this week!  

#2:  P.E. on Monday!  

#3:  Picture Retakes.... NOT this week...but just giving you a heads-up that they are scheduled for Tuesday, October 27! Elyse and Kaydence need these for sure since you guys were gone.  Anyone else wanting to get them redone, be sure you have your packets and pictures to return that day!

#4:  IF you have a blue Action Card from Cadets Academy on Friday, be sure it is signed and returned for Monday!

#5:  IF you volunteered to bring in a part of our scarecrow for Mrs. Sorenson's READING CLASS, please bring in those:  flannel shirt, work gloves, work boots, pumpkin head:)  Thanks!

FINALLY... Blog proof!  It seems you poor, poor children NEVER get a break from me!  Somehow I see at least ONE or more of you over the weekend!  For example... many 5th grade boys PELTED me with candy at the parade on Friday!  I saw several of you at the homecoming game (sad loss). Then  also saw people on Saturday at Pinters!  Your blog proof will be to look at the photo below and answer the question below it.  Please put your 2 answers to the question on a post-it note or paper.  Hand it to me with YOUR NAME on it please on Monday morning!

Have a great rest of your Sunday (or Monday morning if you are checking this then!!  Let's come in on Monday with the "I GOT THIS" kind of attitude to make TRANSITIONS a SUCCESS!

Be sure to get out ALL of your materials for switching right away:)
