Want some opportunities to earn some extra credit for Social Studies? I have 2 ways. You can even do both!!! 

1. Go to the voting booth with your parent, grandparent, and/ or guardian and VOTE!!

See the process in action and bring me back some proof that you went. For example, an " I voted" sticker, a note from the election folks, a piece of voting literature or write me a "how to " vote,  paper.

    2. Watch the election returns on November 6th. Watch the returns at least 30 mins. Have your parents write me a note verifying that you were watching the returns.

Early voting started today! so do what the Colonist wanted to do......speak up and have your say!

New AR goals have been set for this 9 weeks. With the nightly reading, we should be able to all make our goals and earn those prizes! AR reading of 25 mins. each night is the expectation. Thanks for your support.  Ms. B

Parents,

     Since we are working together to help your child succeed in school, I am asking today for some help.I am having several kids come in daily to class with out their needed materials. They have come to class without homework, reading books, agendas etc.
     Without the needed materials, it makes doing school work difficult. As a parent myself, I realize there will be days that the kids forget things however what I am seeing, seems to be pattern of behavior. 
     If you wouldn't mind, I would ask that you check with your child every evening or morning to see their agenda, sign the agenda, check for homework and have them place it in the back pack along with the library/AR book. Establishing a routine will help the kids become independent which is our goal before next year ( or sooner !)   Together we can do great things! 

Wishing us continued success! 

Ms. Burnett

The end of the 9 weeks is Friday. Please make sure your child has their AR points and if they are eligible to do redo work, they need to have it completed by Friday! Thanks! MS. B
