Parent/Family Paperwork

     I know how much we all hate the dreaded beginning of the year paperwork but it is very important that you return it. 
     It is also essential to make sure you have registered your child online this year.  That online registration includes the form that allows your child to access the students computers.  We need to make sure this is done ASAP because your student will not be able to access them in the computer lab or on our classroom laptops to do research and projects when they need to! 
    Below is a list of all of the forms you need to make sure you have returned as soon as possible:

-White Card (Student and Family Contact Card)
-White paper 5th grade rules form (inside the "5th grade packet")  **rip it out and sign saying you   
         and your student understand all that 5th grade entails.
-Green "Think Time" paper (signed by you and your child)
-Blue skinny piece of paper (Emergency kit form***Please return this filled out and with a baggie
         with all of the items on the list for the PTA emergency kits)
-Medical Condition Blue Card (only if you have a medical condition that needs reporting)
-$4 dollars for planner or purchase one yourself (due this Friday)
-$5 BizTown money if you are able

Thank you so much for staying on top of things!  It makes my life so much easier!

Love,
Mrs. Allen :)

First Day of School

Wow!  What a fun day it has been!  I'm so lucky to have such a great class this year.  Today we got started by getting to know each others name with a name/adjective/action game.  My favorite was Quesadilla Quintus.  :)  The students got to know a little more about me personally and as a teacher.  We set up our class rules and learned about all of the "stuff" we will be using throughout this year.  I can't wait for tomorrow.  This is going to be a great year!

Parents, if you couldn't make it to Morning Mingle, shoot me an email and I'll send home the papers you missed with your student.

Coming up:
Planner or Planner Money                  Due: Friday August 3rd
Student and Family Contact Card       Due: Friday August 3rd
Green Think Time Contract                Due: ASAP
"Brown Bag It" Homework                Due: Friday July 27th 

Love,
