A Word from Our Wonderful Room Moms:
The BCS auction is coming up and we will be in need of some volunteers to help out with either serving food or playing games. I think they are 1/2 hour increments. I will send you the time slots that need to be filled, and if you are available for one of them, you can "reply all" to lets us know what you are available to do. Thanks so much for all of your help!, Butzin Room Moms
BLAST… For the BCS auction, each classroom has been asked to donate a "theme" basket. Our classroom theme will be a Family Fun Night. We will fill the basket with games, crafts, movie tickets, etc. Whatever you think would be fun for a family with school age children. We are asking that each family, that is able to do so, make a single donation. The donation can be anything from a deck of cards to movie tickets, to popcorn. We will have a box in the classroom labeled auction items. Your child may bring the item to school and place it in the box. If you could please let us know what your donation item will be, so that we do not have duplicates, that would be helpful. Just jot down the name of the item and then click on "reply all".

We are working on a family unit—La familia. I am hoping that parents can email me family pictures for the students to use in a Power Point presentation. I prefer jpeg or bmp files—nothing in a Microsoft word document, please. Students are going to write about five family members including themselves—very simple, as in: ésta es mi mamá. Se llama Joan. (This is my mother. Her name is Joan.) Pets are allowed. They may include grandparents, cousins, etc., but they must include all siblings. My email is kw11bps@birmingham.k12.mi.us Kalyn Wulatin
