Hamster – We will have a class pet starting on Monday, unless someone has an allergy.  I have had one family volunteer to take Max the Hamster home on some weekends and vacations.   Are there anymore volunteers?

At Home Book Bags – I found an At Home Book Bag helper.  Thank you to Brandy Ahmed for helping us with this project.  She will switch out all books on Tuesdays.  So book bags will be going home on Tuesdays, they should read the books and complete the homework, then return by the following Monday.  They will go out on Tuesday.  I am still missing contracts from the following students.  Please print and return these right away, so that we can send a bag home: Student # 8, 11, 14, 15, 20

Reminders:  Please make sure you have all of your forms turned in for tomorrow’s trip:
The second page of the concussion form didn’t show up in my last post.  Please make sure this is signed and returned.  If chaperoning tomorrow please bring your license and insurance information to the office .  You also need the iChat and Chaperone information forms from the previous post.  Here page 2 of the Concussion Form:

Hamster:  My daughter has offered to let me bring in our hamster as a class pet.  Before I do, I want to make sure there are no allergies to hamsters, please let me know if your child has an allergy to hamsters.  Also, I would like to send the hamster home each weekend with different families.  If you are interested in having Max the Hamster as a weekend or vacation guest.  Please let me know and I will set up a schedule.

Green School Recycling – I am on the Green school committee this year.  Since Dearborn will not pick up our plastic recycling, I am looking for parent volunteers who would be willing to bring home our school recycling and add it to your own recycling at your home.  Please let me know, if we get enough volunteers you would only need to do it a few times during the school year.  Thanks for helping us stay GREEN!

Dear Parents,

Michigan Science Center – Thursday, October 17th 9 am-3 pm.

In order to chaperone on this trip you must have the two forms that I sent home today fill out.  You must come to the office and show your driver’s license and proof of insurance.  Please arrive early so that we can make sure the paperwork is taken care of in the office before we need to leave.

Here are all the forms that must be turned in:

• Student should also have their concussion form filled out and returned by Thursday to attend the trip.

• Please wear a red shirt.

• Please pack a sack lunch.
• Please check in with me in the classroom, so I know that you are here.  Take care of the paperwork in the office and then wait in the lobby.

I will send this message again on Wednesday afternoon for everything you must remember on Thursday.

At Home Book Bags –

Contracts – I still have several that students that have not turned in their Book Bag Contracts, if you have not completed the contract below, please send it in as soon as possible.  I will not send home book bags until I have the contract:

Parent helper – I need a parent helper who is willing to switch the books out of the at home and class book bags each week.  I would like to do this on Fridays, however if Fridays don’t work for you we can switch the due date to another day.  I had a meeting I needed to attend today, so I was unable to switch them.  If I get a volunteer they will go out again on Friday.  The student needs to read the book and complete the activity.  They turn in the bag the next Friday.

Remember there is no school.  October 14-16.

October 17th – Field trip to Michigan Science Center  9 am – 3 pm – meet at the school to finish paperwork and get directions.

October 18th – Walk and Roll a-thon.  Pledge forms and money were due today.  Please return the forms and money on Thursday morning if you did not send it in today.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe vacation!
