Week of Oct. 24

Hello Everyone!
   

Thanks for checking the blog! As some may know I was absent on Friday because I was out of town. I ended up having to stay home today (Monday) to stay with my son who was not feeling good. Sorry if anyone came by to chat. Please remember you can always email me at: rfisk@fusd1.org

Here are the updates for the week:

* Well you may of heard... I am pregnant! My family is very excited for this new blessing. I luckily am not due until the last week of school, or so. I will be around awhile! More info to come :).

*THANK YOU! I appreciate all the birthday wishes, cards, drawing and gifts. I sure felt special last week. I am so lucky to work with such wonderfully thoughtful students and families!

*Homework- Since I did not plan to be absent today, homework was not sent out. It will be sent tomorrow. Students were suppose to write in their agendas tonight that they needed to read for 20 minutes and get their agenda signed.

*Speaking of agendas... PLEASE make sure to read and sign your student's agenda each night! This is one of the first, easiest form of communication I have with you. With that said, your student should have something written in it each day for the most part. Many students are not filling it out like they should. I would really appreciate your support checking in.

*Halloween- As far as I know, students can wear costumes that are school appropriate, not violent and follow dress code. Please keep in mind that every student needs a change of clothes in case they need to change for some reason (distracted in class, inappropriate, Magnet Monday...etc..)

At conferences we will go over:
     -The new grading system
    - Current Benchmark test results
    -Classroom behaviors
Can't wait to see you there!


Snacks- Thank you for the donations for class snacks. We are currently out of snacks again and would love more if you can!


Mustang Gallop- Friday is the Gallop! Pledges and/or donations will be due shortly after. Our class team this year is Japan! On Friday it would be great for each student to wear a white shirt. Please send and old t-shirts that you don't mind getting cut up. We want to also wear head bands! Students will wear head bands for Taiko Drumming (inspired by Japan) so this gave the idea for the Gallop!
