Psst... Shhh... It's a SECRET...

Hey, 5B!  Today was a good morning but rough afternoon with chatting, off-task behaviors and some impulsive actions.  I know we made our 500 ticket goal (actually exceeded it by 154!!) by acting in a very different way.

So, in order to be sure our responsible, respectful and trustworthy students can to be "rewarded" extra for this, you have a secret mission:  Decide WHO you will want to fling a water balloon at on Tuesday (IF the temperature is as hot as it is being predicted).  DO NOT tell anyone this is part of the blog.  I REALLY want to see WHO is checking.  EVEN if you KNOW a friend of yours has checked the blog, DO NOT TALK about it.  Only those students who check the blog will get this "freebee" chance to fling a water balloon at person of choice!  The rest of the water balloon activity will be a group activity.  Simply whisper the name of your "future victim"and I'll write it down for later.  DO NOT TALK ABOUT THIS!

SO, the DEAL IS...DON'T REMIND people to check the blog or talk to them about it or ANYTHING.  It's a special treat I'm allowing those who put forth the EXTRA effort to check the blog and demonstrate responsibility.:)  Yippee!  And that means since I'm writing the blog, I MUST be checking it, too!!!  Haha!!  Who will my target be??  Just wait and see, my darlings!!

Quick Reminders:
Coffee Talk for City of Ember!  Last Day!  Be prepared!
Midterms signed by parents - returned on Tuesday!  No excuses, please.
Permission slip for St. Paul trip - due by Friday!  Tomorrow would be great!
Birthday Kiddos...Remember, if you want to celebrate with us, please do!  We enjoy being a part of your new "year"!

Also.. for literacy:  What's the answer to the riddle?
Inside the greenhouse, is a white house.
Inside the white house, is a red house.
Inside the red house, are a lot of babies.

Remember, my clue was: it is a FRUIT...  Make inferences...Read between the lines:)
