Our school year is off to a great start! The children are excited to be here and are
ready to learn. We have had a fabulous week of school. If you need to reach me you can contact me at

Reading
Logs
Our
Reading Logs came home for September.
Our class voted to have a “Stuffed Animal Day” as a reward. Every child who turns in a completed reading
log on October 1st will be able to participate in the “Ice Cream Day”. Keep reading!!
Snack
Every
day we eat a snack in the morning.
Please make sure you send a snack each day to school.
MATH
We
took a 5 minute addition and subtraction timed test. These will come home next week. We will be taking timed tests monthly. A good way to reinforce our math concepts is
to complete their homework assignments and practice the addition and
subtraction flashcards.

On Wednesday, September 27th,
the Literacy Committee is excited to host the "Bucket Fillers" Team
at Elizabeth Ide. We will be having an all school assembly centered around
being a "Bucket Filler." You might be asking yourself, "What is
a Bucket Filler?" Well, they are those that help someone else without
being asked as well as someone that gives compliments and spreads good
feelings.
The "Bucket Fillers" Teams
mission is:
· To create a safer, kinder, more
respectful school culture where children are ready to learn
· To create communities where all
children grow up confident, resilient, caring, and responsible
· To strengthen, encourage, and support
families to become "bucket filling" families
· To create a positive and supportive
workplace
· To make bucket filling a habit and a
way of life, resulting in individuals with full buckets who are healthy
mentally, emotionally, and socially
Each student/family will have the
opportunity to purchase their own copy of any of the "Bucket Fillers"
books. Order forms will be sent home on Tuesday, September 5th and
you will also have a chance to order them at Curriculum Night. Our school will
receive 30% of the proceeds. Thank you for your support!
We are so excited to become a
"Bucket Filling" school!!!
