Where in the world is Mrs. Swenson?

I'm here - just paddling as fast as I can to keep my head above water! There is SO much to do at the beginning of the year, organizing myself is a challenge!

*Everyone in class passed the science outcomes! Congratulations!
*Everone is doing a fantastic job in MAP testing and reading with me. I have 5 children still to read with - so sure hope to finish early next week.
*We still have 1 Memory Box to share.
*We started trying to earn marbles for good behavior and hard work. We are working hard learning to be respectful listeners. We are working for a BIG treat when we get to 100 marbles. We're still thinking about what it will be ...something like a game day or extra recess.
*We are on Unit 2 for Spelling and finishing up Unit 1 in Math. We'll be assessing math at the end of the week hopefully!
*Carla's name was picked to represent our class on Friday on the PVE Homecoming float in the parade!

- - - - - - - - - If you are planning on joining us for the Homecoming Parade on Friday p.m. please be here by 1:40-1:45. We'll walk out to watch the parade. Please let me know if you are planning to take your child home from the parade. We will NOT bring our backpacks/coats along unless you make a plan to pick up from the parade.

Your child may wear orange/black or any team jersey, hats, beads or hair coloring on Friday. However, hair must be colored before coming to school and beads will need to be kept on desks during outdoor recesses.

Any other questions - please email me or give me a call! :)


BIRTHDAYS:
We decided yesterday in our morning meeting time, that we would celebrate birthdays with a treat if you would like, a pencil from the teacher, notes from the other classmates that will be written at school and that the birthday student's pet may visit if you prearrange a time with Mrs. Swenson. It does not have to be on the day of the birthday, but rather when it fits into your schedule and ours!


I will have the volunteer lists out and the conference sign-up sheets out at Open House on Thursday night. Look for the signs. Volunteering will begin in October.

Hope to see you Thursday sometime between 6-7~ Mrs. S.
