Dear Parents,
First of all I want to thank you for the multitude of birthday wishes, goodies, and gifts. You all and your children made me feel truly special on my birthday!! I cannot thank you enough!
Great news! Our class raised the most money for the Yankee Candle Fundraiser out of all of the classes at Mark Twain! The students will soon be enjoying a pizza party compliments of PTO! Needless to say, they are extremely excited!!
Today in the Tuesday folders there is a permission slip for a field trip this Thursday! I apologize for the short notice! The charge is $4.00 which will cover the price of the bus for the day. If you would like to write a check please make it out to Mark Twain. We will be going to the MRF (recycling center) and the landfill that is on the same property. The fourth grade went on this field trip last year and it was very educational. Please feel to join us if you would like to attend. We will be leaving school at 8:30, and returning around 12:30. Please send your child with a packed lunch because we will arrive back at school after our scheduled lunch time. We will not eat at the landfill, but when we return to school.
There is another field trip coming up shortly. We will be visiting a sculpture garden on October 14th. Please look for the permission slip for this field trip in the Tuesday folders next week. Again, if any parents are able to attend I would greatly appreciate it!
I placed the September order for the Scholastic magazine today, and sent home new magazines today in the Tuesday folder for October. The September order should be in before next Tuesday. I would like to place the October order by Friday, Oct. 15th. Thank you for all of your orders! Your orders help me to get new books for the classroom library.
The matter vocabulary quiz was sent home today in the Tuesday folders. If your child did not pass the test I attached a new vocabulary sheet and wrote that the retest will be Oct. 1st, this Friday. The retest will be in the same format, matching, but I will alter the order of the questions. I suggest that students make flash cards and practice nightly to prepare for the retest.
Our class party will be Friday, October 8th from 5:30 - 7:00 on the pavilion! You should have received an e-mail with details. If you did not, please let me know and I will forward it to you.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. The best way to reach me is via e-mail, but please feel free to stop by before school, during ancillary (10-10:45), or after school to speak with me.
Thank you for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Zirczy
