REWARDS....REWARDS....REWARDS....


We have 2 different contest going on right now for the PLA students.

1. The Pizza Party Contest!!!!!
How it works: this is based on the number of discount cards that each class sells. We know that some classes have more students than others, so we are going to base it on the %.
WINNERS:
1 class winner K4-6th grade
1 class winner 7th-9th grade
1 class winner 10th-12th grade
Each winning class will have a pizza party provided by the PTO!

2. The 100% Contest!!!!
How it works: each student must have a parent sign up for PTO, the students must buy a field trip t-shirt and each student must sell 10 or more discount cards. The class that has each student participate 100% will win! There can be more than one class that wins. We would be happy to have every class win!!
WINNERS: receive all 3 below!
Pizza Party
Ice Cream Party
No Homework Pass (one per student)

OVERALL 100% winner with most % of sales will get a surprise from the PTO.

We wanted to give the students an incentive for all their hard work. We hope this will motivate them to sell cards, get their parents to join PTO and buy a field trip t-shirt.

Thank you for supporting the PTO! Many of you are already members for 2011-2012. It's AWESOME to see the positive energy, desire and drive that all of you have when it comes to the growing needs of our school. Without all of you the PTO can not exist. As our school grows, so do the educational and physical needs. The PTO wants to be there every step of the way to help with any need that may arise. As a member of PTO, you are a vital part in the continuous growth and maintenance of our precious PIKE LIBERAL ARTS SCHOOL. If you have not joined PTO and would like to, you can message me or download the form from the announcements page of the website at http://www.facebook.com/l/lAQBRna_BAQCCDkMvq1NWuTzphvP4HU0xJIAbk9xqeWlSRA/www.pikelib.com.

Announcement

The Pike County Chamber of Commerce Junior Ambassador Program has asked our school’s help in collecting teddy bears for the local police stations, hospitals, and other organizations. These teddy bears will be given out to children for comfort in their times of trouble. Drop off your teddy bears at the main office or Mrs. Carr’s office. We will begin on Wednesday and collect until Halloween. Teddy bears and stuffed animals should be 12 inches tall and they should be clean.

Reading and Math

We are almost through our first week of school! Everyone is doing great adjusting to TWO teachers and keeping organized! Great Job! I wanted to tell you about a couple things that are going on in Reading and Math:

In Math we are working on Multiplication Speed Drills. We have begun with the 2-3 tables. The speed drill has 25 multiplication and 25 division problems and they are allowed 5 min. We will do the speed drills about five times, but once a student has made a 100, or missed none, they no longer have to do them. After most, or all, have completed the drill with a 100 we will move on to the next set. I will let you know when we are going to move on to the next set so you can practice at home.

We do Reading VOCAB every Monday. I will try to post the VOCAB on my blog because some words are not listed in the back of the book. Everyone will need to make sure they have their VOCAB defined for Tuesday because we start writing VOCAB sentences and using them when we read the story. Also, they will have a VOCAB Quiz on Fridays after their Reading Test. This will include matching definitions to the words and starting this week, filling in a sentence with a VOCAB word. The matching part is exactly like the definitions they were given or looked up so it is very important that they are studied every week!!! To study for their Reading Test, I give them a Study Guide every Thursday. They should be looked over on Thursday night to prepare for the test on Friday. Both the VOCAB and Study Guide will be turned in Friday morning.
