Mrs. Faulkner’s Class

It’s hard to believe that we are almost to November!  This week has been a fun week with our silly hat day, inside-out day, and the others!  Tomorrow is our end of the month activity, so everyone that did not recieve 6 or more blue slips wil be able to participate in our fun activity.  And please remember that school gets out 1 hour early tomorrow.

Keep in mind that tomorrow is also the last day for our food drive, so bring those cans and other non-perishable goods in if you would like to compete with the other classes!  I’m sure we need a lot more!

We have finally finished our first quarter, and we are on to the second!  We are starting a new chapter in math where we get to read graphs and make graphs.  Don’t forget to starting asking your survey question!

This week is Red Ribbon Week, therefore everyday we get to participate in something different.  Today was Red, White and Blue day.  Here is the schedule for the rest of the week:

Tuesday - Hat Day

Wednesday - Team Day

Thursday - Inside-Out Day

Friday - Slipper Day

I’m looking forward to a great 2nd quarter!

We had such a wonderful field trip today!  Make sure that you tell your parents about what we did and what you liked, because I’m sure they would like to know

Today was the last day of the quarter, and report cards will be going home next Friday (October 31st).
Since Monday is the first day of Quarter 2, make sure you start with your best!

Don’t forget that This coming week is the food drive & Red Ribbon Week.  Here is the schedule:

Monday - Red, White & Blue day
Tuesday - Hat Day
Wednesday - Team Day
Thursday - Inside-out day
Friday - Slipper Day

Have a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you on Monday!

This will be your last problem solving question since the end of the quarter is tomorrow.  Good luck!

Remember to bring your sack lunch tomorrow for the field trip.  No pop is allowed.  No items from home are allowed either.  We will not be bringing anything with us other than our lunches and our coats.  It is only supposed to be 56 degrees and rainy tomorrow, so dress appropriately!
