Important Information

• Donuts will be on sale Friday morning for $1 supporting Relay for Life
• We are celebrating our 4th incentive being met during the Dash Fundraiser this Friday. Your child may wear a costume to school. We have PE, so keep that in mind with shoes and apparel. There will not be time to change clothes. Your child may not wear a mask or anything that covers their eyes and should not bring anything that resembles a weapon. I want this to be fun, but it must be appropriate too.
• We will have fall centers on Friday. Thanks to our room moms for their hard work.
• Set your clocks back on Sunday.
• ILC new book check out is Friday.
• Your child should be taking at least 2 AR test per week on books that are their AR level
• We will have our first in house field trip Tuesday seeing Tomochichi in the café. 

We met our 4th incentive for a costume party! Yay. I’ve added a 5th incentive- electronic day. Keep raising money to help educate our kiddos at Tritt! Our final count day is this Thursday. Please help your child remember to bring in the envelopes. Also, they may challenge staff members to participate in the Dash. Thank you for your continued support with our PTA Fundraiser.
 
What are we learning?
Reading: identifying the author’s purpose for writing nonfiction text. Is it to explain, answer questions, or describe a person, place, or thing?
Writing: finishing our personal narratives
Math: Reviewing place value to 1,000 with an emphasis on comparing numbers
Social Studies: learning the contributions of Thomochichi and how his life is similar to and different from our life today
Word Work: completing prefixes and reviewing all long vowels
STEM: We used our knowledge of data collection, creating a graph, and matter to make glue. Ask your child all about it!
 
Donations:
Please send in empty paper towel and toilet paper roll as you have them.
Baby wipes or hand wipes to clean up STEM and messy assignments would be appreciated. We don’t have a sink in our room so they have been helpful. (We wiped me clean with our glue mixtures today.)
 
Our Dash is this Friday. Come cheer The Woolley Mammoths on from 12:15-1:00.
 
I’m looking forward to seeing you all next week for conferences!
 

​Tiger Dash Update!
We met our first goal; our class has earned extra recess!  Our next count day is this Thursday. Remember to send in your child’s envelope even if they do not have any new additions to their collection. We brought in $974.50 and need a total of 1,100 to reach our next incentive. To meet goal three, we must reach 1,650 and for goal 4 we need to raise $2.200. Keep up the hard work with raising money for our school! Remember that all money collected stays in the school and 10-20% is to be spent on our classroom materials.
