Alexander Calder: American Sculptor Friday Project

Mrs. Laura Renfroe sent us the most fun project to do today! We learned about Alexander Calder, an American sculptor and did wire sculptures like his. Thanks Miss Laura! We had a great time! You can learn more about Alexander Calder and his work here.

Dollar Tree Bins

We got a bookshelf from the library yesterday and it will help with some much needed storage space. I would greatly appreciate some of the plastic shoeboxs or bins from the Dollar Tree. If anyone is headed there sometime soon, it would be awesome if you could grab a couple! Thanks so much - this class is so big, we were running out of room!

Also, I am looking for a rug/carpet for underneath our white board to cover up where an old cabinet used to be. If anyone has one or comes across a cheap one, please let me know!

Termite Game, Labor Day, and "Sarah, Plain and Tall"

The termite game has been cancelled this afternoon since we don't know what this crazy weather will do - and Mrs. Sikes said for everyone to use their best judgment about tomorrow.

I forgot to remind everyone yesterday that Monday, September 3rd is a HOLIDAY! No school, YAY!!! :)

Also, does anyone have the movie, Sarah, Plain and Tall it is an older movie but one of the kids brought it last year and the class loved watching it after reading some of the book for our Reading story. They may have it at the public library too if anyone has time to check! Thanks so much!

Folders

Folders were sent home today. Please sign the top paper and return tomorrow.

*Folder Reminder: Our first Language quiz last week was a practice so that quiz has a grade in pencil and all the math classwork is in the folder; it is not graded because we work on that together but I wanted to include it so you can see what we do! :)

Have a great night!
