Welcome Back!

The second quarter is off with a bang!  Here is the latest and greatest from room 15.........

We want to welcome Isabel Daily to our class.  She is a new student to our class but has been at Painted Sky before.  We're excited to have her!

The Hoe Down is this Friday.  The kiddos are encouraged to dress "western" to school on Friday.  If they show their western spirit they get a sticker on their incentive chart!  The silent auction will take place in the gym and the loot is awesome!  Our class basket is the Broadway of Tucson basket.  It includes 4 tickets to the opening night of Legally Blonde the Musical, 4 t-shirts, a backpack, notebook and pen, a keychain, and a giftcard for dinner to Hifalutin.  It was donated by my good friend Marc who is the director of marketing at BofT so I know the seats are amazing.  Be sure to bid on it!

A big thank you goes out to Michele Knox and Janey Russell for planning our Harvest Party on October 30 from 2:00-3:00.  They have some great things planned.  Be sure to send in your $5 to cover the cost of pizza, cookie decorating, and craft centers.  If this is inconvenient for anyone, please let them know.  Students are allowed to dress in a "festive" way this year!  No scary masks and dress code is still inforced. 

The November and December volunteer calendars came home today.  Please let me know if you need to switch with someone or if you want to be added.  I heart volunteers!

Report cards come home this Friday.  These are the grades for the first quarter.  In order to make the honor role the students must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher.  If they have a 4.0 they make the principal's honor roll.  The assembly for honor roll is scheduled for October 29 at 9:00 a.m.  We hope to see you there!

Scrapbooks are well underway.  If you would like a scrapbook for your child please send in $20 at your earliest convenience.  Thank you!

Please continue to help your child memorize their multiplication and division facts.  I can't stress the importance enough.  Every math lesson we do has some form of multiplication and division in it. 

Thank you for all of your help.  I'm looking forward to making the second quarter a great one!

Cruisin' Arizona is a Success!!!

CRUISIN' ARIZONA

Hats off to the kiddos for their performance last night! They were very entertaining and so knowledgeable about the state of Arizona! Here are a few of the highlights from last night! I will forever have "cruisin' Arizona in my SUV, comin' round the corner there's so much to see" in my head!
Getting ready to play our instruments!
More instruments......."15 counties make up Arizona, here in Arizona where we live.  Greenlee, Santa Cruz, Pima, Maricopa, Coconino, Navajo, Mohave, Yuma, Gila, Graham, Yavapai, Apache, La Paz, Cochise, Pinal!"
"A Copper Star it sits in the middle to remind us of that industry.  It rises from a field of blue into the rays of the setting su"
"We became a state in 1912.  The Cactus Wren is our state bird.  The Saguaro Blossom is our state flower.  The Palo Verde is our state tree."
Ronnie's Rascals are a huge success!!!!!
