The Blue Pod is proud to announce that Mrs. Boyer had a beautiful baby girl this week! Mr. and Mrs. Hodum have already held her and proclaimed themselves as honorary grandparents! Congratulations, Mrs. Boyer! We miss you , but Mrs. McClain is doing a great job in her classroom and we cannot wait to see some pictures of little Kathryn to share with the kids.
We had a busy past week at CES with shaved ice, picture day, and special scheduled times of music and library. The children are becoming accustomed to our routines and we hope they are sharing all of the special times as well. This week we will be going to Counseling/Guidance classes and to the computer lab.
This week, we will continue our AMSTI unit with the study of trees and leaves. Take time to go outside with your child this week and observe the trees right around you. We have been using our science journals to record what we see on our outside school area. We are going to have a special guest this week that will help the students understand the importance of taking care of our forest and land. For now, it's a secret, but we hope your child comes home Monday being very aware of the treasures in our trees and forests.
Many of you signed the notes sent home this week concerning the sale of ice cream on Fridays in the cafeteria. Please know this is optional and we encourage the students to eat their lunches before we let them go pick their ice cream. The cafeteria staff is aware of who does and does not want their child's lunch accounts to be used for ice cream. If we see .75 in an envelope or ziplock bag on Friday we will assume it is for ice cream. Thanks to those of you who label things for us: it makes our time collecting money so much shorter and we are anxious to get on with our instructional day as quickly as possible. Please talk to your child as to when they can buy ice cream and when they cannot. Thanks for your help!
See You at the Pole is an annual event at all of our county schools when parents and students are invited to join us around our school flagpole to pray for our school, community, state, and nation. This will take place this Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 7a.m. You are welcome to join us if your schedule permits. It will be over by 7:15 when students may enter the building.
Have a great weekend; please take note of the upcoming October events (listed on the right side of the blog page).
