Can You Help our Class?

We are in need of a home volunteer to sharpen a big bag of pencils for us. If you are able to help out our class and have a sharpener at home, please email me at rebecca.rose@vbschools.com. We will send home the bag of pencils with your child. We really, really appreciate it! Thank you for helping our students be good writers!

Collecting 100 Cans of Food for the 100th Day!

Dear Parents,
We are fast approaching the 100th day of school- an event we have talked about since the first day of school. As a class, we have decided to collect 100 cans of food to donate to a local food pantry. On the 100th day we will count all the cans collected and see if we have reached our goal. Please help us by sending canned food donations on or before February 16, 2011. For our safety, please do not overload our backpacks with cans. If you would like to drop off cans that will not fit in a backpack, please feel free to leave the cans with our wonderful security assistant Nancy George in the main foyer.

Thank you for helping us to celebrate the 100th day and helping us to help others!

Many thanks to our volunteers for helping our class make cornbread, a sweet potato dish, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie! We had so much fun and can't wait to sample the food tomorrow.

Calling All Mystery Readers!

I would like to invite any parents, grandparents, relatives, older siblings, or any other special people to surprise your child by being a “Mystery Reader” this year in our classroom. Students love having their family, friends, and relatives visit our classroom to share in our learning by reading a favorite story aloud to our class. Mystery Readers will visit us on Tuesdays at 8:20-8:50 and 1:05-1:35. Readers are asked to bring a book to read. Readers may also bring materials for a quick craft or a small snack that goes along with their book. Please remember to stick to the time frame (Passing out supplies takes time!) 

Please sign up to be a Mystery Reader for the 2010-2011 school year by emailing our wonderful assistant Mrs. Greene at ambergreene@vbschools.com or myself at rebecca.rose@vbschools.com. This is on a first come first serve basis. I will make sure that very one who has volunteered to be a Mystery Reader has the opportunity to read.
Please indicate at least two Tuesday dates (if possible) that will work for you, so that I can accommodate everyone. You need to return to me in a “top secret” envelope the bottom portion of this letter to school with your child. I will get back to you as soon as I can to confirm your official Mystery Reader date.

Remember, you are a mystery reader to the class, so try not to tell your child when you will be coming! We will provide you a clue form to fill out about yourself when we set the date. I will share this with the class, so that they can use these clues to infer who our reader may be.
We can’t wait to meet our 2010-2011 Tuesday Mystery Readers!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Rose and Mrs. Green
