Red Ribbon Week

Hello All,

Just a reminder, in case you haven't already heard from your kid(s), that this week is Red Ribbon Week, where the kids are encouraged to stear clear of drugs and to make healthy choices. Below is a list of books (which was emailed to me) that are age-appropriate for Ms. Carrillo's class if you would like to share them with your children.

Have a great week! Oh, and Wednesday is Crazy Sock Day.

Letter/Word/Alphabet Friend for the Week of 10/12/09

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to put this out there in case you need it this week. Ryan couldn't remember the letter of the week one time and almost couldn't bring anything to share, but we found his homework sheet just in the nick of time. So, in case you're ever in a similar situation, I thought it would be a good idea to put these on our blog as a little reminder.

The word is "like". The letter is "Ss". And, the alphabet friend is Sammy Seal.

Have a great week.

Michelle

America's Favorite School

Well, I wasn't able to attend the Room Rep meeting earlier this week, but I did hear from our lead RR, Mrs. Caneday, that our school is participating in a contest which appears from the website to be sponsored, at least in part, by Target Stores. It's called America's Favorite School, and you can only register once and vote once.

The top school wins $20,000, but there are other prizes given out totaling $16,000, including weekly prizes.

Please go check out this website and vote if the mood strikes you. Our school is listed under "R. L. Stevenson". It took me a bit to find it, so I'm trying to give everyone a leg up. Apparently it was also recommended that parents email their friends and family members the link as well so that they can vote.

Thanks for taking the time, Michelle
