A Few Other Things.................

• Hopefully you have seen that we have started marking the daily behavior. If you child did not have to change their card you will see that they have made a pencil line through the box. If they were on yellow, red, or blue the box would be colored according to what card they were on for the day.
• You need to be checking the Spanish Class blog for the weekly spelling list and other homework.  We will no longer be printing out the Spanish spelling list, you will need to refer to Ms. Lara's blog.
• This Friday is "Kids' Day"  They will receive popsicles during lunch and it is a free color's day.
• Please check the Values blog.  Read the newsletter and upcoming discussions she will be having with parents.
• So far this year we have celebrated two birthdays in our classroom.  Both parents brought cupcakes and it was great!!!!  I would like to encourage cupcakes over a cake when celebrating, it makes it so much easier for everyone.  Rolando's mom does baking out of her home so she if you need to order some cupcakes from her to celebrate your party, give her a call.  They were yummy!!  Also, when bringing in drinks all the kids prefer Sprite.
