Welcome back! I hope you
all had a fantastic and relaxing Fall Break!
Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week will be the week after Fall Break. Our theme this year is "A Drug Free Life Rocks." Each day in class we will do an activity that encourages children to choose a drug-free lifestyle writing our own drug free song! Students will also be invited to dress up for Red Ribbon Week in the following ways.
Monday: Wear red
Tuesday: Wear sunglasses
Wednesday: Wear clothing inside out
Thursday: Wear tie-dye
Friday: Wear somethiing that represents your future (e.g., a pencil tucked behind your ear if you wish to be a writer, a suit for a future businessman, a football jersey for a high school football player)
Photo Story Autobiographies
Please remember to send in
approximately 20-26 pictures that correlate with your child's autobiography. It
is best if pictures can be put on a flash drive that your child can bring to
school. If you can't use a flash drive, please put the pictures on a CD. I
cannot accept hard copies or e-mailed copies of pictures for these. All
pictures must be here by Wednesday,
October 26 because we are going to the lab to put them on the
computers so the students can create their Photo Stories during the Technology
rotation that starts October 27. If you do not have any electronic copies of
pictures I will allow your child to find images from the Internet that support
his/her autobiography such as a UK symbol if they like UK. I know gathering
pictures can be a lot of work, but the end product is well-worth it!Red Ribbon Week will be the week after Fall Break. Our theme this year is "A Drug Free Life Rocks."
