Last week we had a surprise visit from Frank Cole who is the author of Hashbrown Winters. This was great for the students to talk with him and realize that they too could also be an author.
On Friday, Fundraiser packets were sent home. Please read the attached yellow note on the envelope. There are 10 spelling words that the students will get pledges for. We picked easy words because for every word they spell right our school gets money! The money the students earn pay for playground equipment, field trips, and many other student activities. Turn in the white envelopes to class by Thursday, October 8th so we can take our spelling test on Friday, October 9th which will be right on the envelope. On Friday the 9th, I will correct these 10 words and send envelopes home. Then students will collect money for words spelled correctly. Checks can be made to Coral Cliffs Elementary PTA. Students will return envelopes and money by October 16th. Everyone who returns the envelope will win a prize. 100% of all money raised will go directly to Coral Cliffs! The students are really excited about this, so if you have any questions please call Becky VanLehn at #435-862-5931.
Take Home Library has started! Parents please initial the slip of paper after your student reads their book and return back to school the next day! Be sure to record your reading minutes on your Reading Calendar for September. Students turn your reading calendar in on Thursday with at least 400 minutes and parent signature and you will be given a prize!
