I hope everyone had a great weekend. Did you catch a football game or go see the women's golf tournament? Whatever you did the weather was fabulous and thank goodness a little cooler.

We started the weekend off great with our Gotcha Party. It was the BEST.

All our students were able to attend.

We danced and danced and danced the afternoon away. What fun.

We will now start over with earning 3 gotchas towards the next gotcha party.

This week is our Library Week (on Friday) and of course Computer lab too.

I was wrong about the special math lesson from our AMSTI lady "Ms. Pam". She didn't come last week.... Instead...

She will be coming tomorrow (Mon.) to do our lesson at 12:30 with us.

Shaved Ice is Tuesday... Please send in $1.50 with your child if they want to buy.

Picture day is Wednesday... Please dress your child nicely and send in the order form with your money if you choose to buy. (this is also the individual picture, of your child, that will show up in the school yearbook)

And of course... Friday is game day and your child can buy a booster badge or pom pom or other items from the Stanhope Cheerleaders. 75cents and up.

I have to stress how important it is for your child to attend school, especially on our test days, Thursday and Friday, thank you.

We would like to send a SPECIAL THANKS to Jonathan Clarke's Family for sending in our awesome treasure box prizes for the month of September. WOW.... Thank you...The kids went wild over them and... probably brought one home this past Friday.

*just a reminder... If your child earns all happy faces throughout the week they get to choose from the treasure box each Friday.

We want to congratulate Marion Wilson for filling out her Blue Library Card... She has read 100 books, got her picture taken and will attend the special party in the spring.

*Remember you have until April to fill out your card. Keep on Reading. :)

Our student of the week last week was: Justin LaFogg.

Students of the week get to lead our class line EVERYWHERE we go throughout the week. They get to choose a friend to sit at a special table in the lunchroom each day. And...They get to attend a special party Just for Students Of the Week.

Everyone will have a turn as student of the week.

I randomly choose from the list of students who have all happy faces from the week before.

Once everyone has a turn then we will start over....again focusing on good behavior.

This week is our Last story for unit 1.

Next week we will have our first big unit test that has skills from our last 5 stories and spelling units. Look for a review sheet coming home later this week.

Have a Great Week!

-Mrs. Mainor
