We all voted today on Moodle in our 3/4 Presidential Election. Everyone had to register and show their voter identification card to enter the polling precinct. IT was fun! This morning the fourth graders learned all about Battle of the Books…ask your child to share all of the details with you tonight. Most 4th graders checked out Battle books an d already love them! Tomorrow is the Presidential Election…go with your parents to vote and learn about the process! I will miss you tomorrow and will be working hard on your report cards.

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!!!
