We had a wonderful Halloween Celebration today in room 204! Many thanks to the parents who organized, helped out, donated and joined us today for the Halloween party. It was a great to see you all and thank you for making the party such a success. We had a BLAST!
Have a fun time trick-or-treating tonight!
PARENT REPRESENTATIVE….Would you be available on Sunday to act as a parent representative in our classroom during open house? Open house is from 1-3. If you can stay the entire time or a portion of the time, we would appreciate having your help! I will be in the room with you as well as a few of our students. Your job would be to answer questions from a parent perspective and tell parents all of the positive things you have experienced here at BCS!!! Please email me to let me know if you are available for any portion of the time! Thanks, Scarlet sb07bps@birmingham.k12.mi.us
Please make sure your child has pencils in his/her binder!
I have had several kind parents email me to ask what they can donate to our classroom. Thank you, but I am not allowed to ask for donations! However, if you are at the store and things just happen to fall into your cart, we always are in need of paper towel, Kleenex, pencils, and Lysol wipes. These items would also just have to fall into my classroom, and I would not know how they got there!!! Thank you for your generosity. I appreciate you!!!
Social Studies: Today we learned about the election process. I have done a lot to explain to the kids that we will not share who we want to vote for because everyone’s vote is private and we never want to make someone feel bad about their choice. However, we will use various sources to educate ourselves about both candidates. I want them to understand how important it is not only to vote, but to make an informed choice. On Monday, the entire 3/4 will vote online and we will see who our president would be if our third and fourth graders had the choice!!!
Here’s what we have for you tonight:
