Pouncing into Patton

No school Monday October 14.

Picture Retake and Make-up October 16.

No school Thursday October 17 and Friday October 18 for Parent Teacher Conferences. The Book Fair will be set up during these times for you to shop.

We will not be having individually scheduled Parent Teacher Conferences. Please come on Thursday between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm or Friday between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm.

As a team, we have implemented an IXL challenge for the students. As they successfully master skills on IXL, they are keeping track of them on a recording sheet. For every 25 skills mastered, students have the opportunity to choose a prize from the IXL Prize Bin in their homeroom. Each classroom has some prizes in their bin already, but we could really use some help to add to the rewards. If you would be willing to contribute some prizes, it would be greatly appreciated.

Suggested prizes: candy, small trinkets and fidgets, special pens and pencils, stickers, stress balls, etc

Phillips- We will use Reflex, IXL, and ALEKS to practice reading and math skills. The ALEKS goal is to practice 15 minutes per school day and learn 5 new topics.Each student should have a grade level appropriate chapter book that they are reading at all times. They are welcome to borrow one from the classroom library and we will go to the school library soon. If you able to donate to our class prize box, that will be amazing! Many students are forgetting to charge their Chromebooks. A gentle reminder will be very helpful. This is the time of year when allergies, dry throats, and common colds ramp up. If you could send in a few boxes of tissues and or small bottles of water, that will be great! Thank you so much for supporting our classroom.
