The Social Studies Project/

The Social Studies Projects was a great success!

I am going to post some of the projects on the blog (if I can figure out how)

They are absolutely wonderful, thank you parents students for a job well done!

Different note, any student that is late turning in their project, I will be deducting 5 points a day up to 20. (extra credit facts should make up for this).  Extenuating circumstance please call or come by.

Halloween Parade

Halloween Parade:

Friday, October 29,2010

Mission Academy Front Parking lot

1:15 p.m.

Parade begins from the football field then around the school. 

"Trunk R Treat" will take place in front of the school. 

The parade will go by the parked cars/ trunks open and the children can get their candy. 

Parents who are going to participate in this event are encouraged to dress up for Halloween.

Parents we are also collecting candies for this event. 

The Classroom with the most candy collected will win a Pizza party.

The Candy will be weighed to determine the winner.....

Please parents, costumes should not be too scary, I am concerned for the PK, K, 1st and sensitive children. No fake blood, painted faces etc. 

The school is requesting that if parents have any extra Halloween decorations to loan (labeled), please bring them to the office and they will be used in front of the school...Pumpkins are donations are also welcomed.

"Trunk or Treat"

October 29 is the day our class along with the school are going to have our annual Fall Fest parade.

 Parents are invited to park in parking lot, open their car trunks, dress up in their favorite costume and pass candy out. Estimated time for the parade is 1:30 p.m but I would get their early to get a good parking spot (shade).

I am seriously considering firing up my coleman on that day cooking hot dogs for our class. What do you think?

I am going to try to post spelling words for the next week from now on.  Some parents have requested that I post the words early and I think it is a good idea.  Next will be a short week so I figured that our kids should not be at a disadvantage because of it.

Oops Printing Format Incorrect

Parents I am so sorry about the Assignment Sheet for this week.  I changed the format on the printer settings and forgot to change them back, so consequently the spelling words were cut off. We will do the 5 x each after the math test.  I will print out the homework sheet again and add some more information at the bottom and back of assignment sheet...
Thank You Again
Mr. F
