Week 9 (Once Again)

I hope everyone was able to endure these past few days safely.

As we return to the classroom this Monday, we will try our best to move forward and resume our previous goals. 

Here's the plan for this upcoming week:

• We return to Mock Elections! Grades 3, 4 and 5 will look into the candidates for presidents and vote for the candidate we feel best represents us. Our thanks to Ms. Fought for coordinating this event.
• We are off on Tuesday for Election Day! Please remember to vote.
• The Unit 2 Math test will take place on Wednesday. 

Due to school closures, we will reschedule some events, like Family Friday and Character Dress Up Day in upcoming weeks.

We are starting our Annual Penny Harvest. This event is always a highlight on our fall calendar and the spirit of charity is most needed these days. Please have your child begin bringing in spare change for collection. Many families have wondered about any outreach the school may be planning in response to Hurricane Sandy. Our parent coordinator, Ms. Wattenbarger, has put the call out for volunteers to assess needs and organizations we can work with. Please inquire with Ms. Wattenbarger if you are interested in volunteering at dwattenbarger@schools.nyc.gov . 
 

ADDENDUM: There will be a collection of specific supplies most needed for relief. In order to make it more efficient, our class has been asked to focus on bringing in paper towels and bottled water. If you would like to contribute, please bring these supplies to the MMR.

Have a safe and better weekend!
