October 12- 15

Bacon Bears,

The leaves are turning and fall is upon us. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the "fall break." Our teachers worked very hard on Friday learning about how to improve instruction for the students.

This week is very busy. We have a bunch of activities planned for the week. Our students in grades 1, 3 and 5 will be getting their annual vision screening. On Friday our local Fire Department will be visiting to talk with the students about fire safety. The students will also get a chance to go into the "smoke house" to learn more about the impact of fire safety.


We have a lot to do in only four days!

Are you interested in participating or helping with the Halloween Frolic? Check out this sign up sheet online... Our epic Halloween Frolic will be on Friday, October 30, 2015 from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Bacon Bears,

Keys to Character Unlock Success!

Tough guys wear Pink! 

Thankfully, we dodged Hurricane Joaquin! Our safety patrol students did get to do their first rainy dismissal!

This week the teacher observations will begin. We will also have Mrs. Mackall stopping by on Thursday to help out with any specific questions teachers may have about One Drive. Also, there is no school on Friday due to teacher professional development.

Parents - The October newsletter was sent home with your child on Wednesday. Please contact the front office if you didn't receive one.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year we are encouraging everyone to wear pink on Fridays. We are partnering with Girl Scout Daisy & Brownie troop 51008 to bring some joy to those who are going through chemotherapy at local hospitals. Mrs. Lunemann is collecting materials so you can drop them off to Room 3. Here is the quick list of supplies by grade level:
Kindergarten - Lemonheads or Tart Candy (Helps reduce bad taste in mouth due to the Chemo treatments)
1st Grade - Small Lotion, chap stick, hand sanitizer
2nd Grade - Small Chocolates
3rd Grade - Word Find or puzzle books
4th and 5th Grade - Fuzzy Socks, scarves for heads. (These items help keep patients warm during their chemo sessions)
Please note that these are suggestions. If you want to bring in something listed in another grade, that is no problem at all.


October is also Connected Educators Month. Dr. Cook wrote a blog post that was published in Education Week - Check out the article here.
