https://www.getmovinfundhub.com/event-webpage/5d2de6e7df7f7 - Testing Complete - we are done with NWEA testing as a whole class! I am proud of the perseverance the students showed tackling this important assessment.
- Library Books - Please be sure your child returns their library books to school each Thursday.
- Classroom Volunteers - I am looking for classroom volunteers to join us between 1:00-1:45 to play math games with our class. Please let me know if you are able to share a little of your time. (All volunteers will need to complete a district background check.)
- Economics Field Trip - We will be walking to Dairy Queen next week as part of our Economics studies. Families completed a permission slip for "walking field trips" as part of your back to school paperwork so extra permission slips are not needed. The cost of this field trip (the ice cream!) is being covered by the Room 107 field trip fun. Weather depending, I am hoping to go on Tuesday.
- PTA Membership - Please consider joining our Bennie PTA. Your membership helps support things like our Garden Club, whole school assemblies, the purchase of playground equipment and more! Click here for the PTA membership form. Oh and as an incentive, the class with the most memberships will earn books for the classroom!

Ask Me:
We've been listening to Deborah Wiles' book "Love, Ruby Lavender". Ask you child to tell you about what happened at the "pink palace" this week ... and about the newspaper article they wrote about the incident. (Hint - Melba Jane threw a rock and the greenhouse broke killing two of Ruby's chicks.)
