MSGBB

Pictures for basketball will be November 3rd (Wednesday). Make sure that uniforms are washed and presentable. Please hang them up so that we can eliminate wrinkles in the fabric.

Additional Vocabulary Words

In addition to the words on the class newsletter, we have four more. Those are: excretion, respiration, internal stimulus and external stimulus. Those words may not be found in the glossary but you will find them within chapter 3.

I have been told that our shirts will be done at 5:00 on Wednesday. If that is the case I will get t-shirts to the girls on Thursday morning and they may wear them that day. Our game on Thursday will be at Troy (5:00).

Halloween Party

Many of the students are looking forward to Halloween coming up! Our Halloween party will be Friday, October 29th at 2:00. Students cannot wear costumes to school, but they can change into them during the party. Students may bring treats for their class if they wish. If they want a drink, that is fine but please be sure that it has a screw-on lid. Please feel free to email me with any questions about the Halloween party!

Red Ribbon Week

As most of you know we will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week the final week of October. I have listed below, what will happen each day.

Monday: 6th grade will tie ribbons on vehicles.
Tuesday: Wear red for the picture.
Wednesday: Bring a photo of your pet and/or donate pet food, treats or toys.
Thursday: Wear your favorite boots.

We hope everyone participates. There will be prizes given throughout the week!
