Milestone 3 - Visuals

This Thursday, December 6, Milestone 3 – Visuals, are due. Students must bring their visual aid(s) to class. Examples: bring your completed tri-fold board or poster board; email your completed power point presentation to lastle@uprep.com or put it on a flash drive to bring to school; bring the book you wrote or model you created; etc.

Please make sure that the visual your student turns in is complete when they come to school (pictures already attached to the board; model completed; Powerpoint slides done).

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Harvest Festival

On Wednesday, October 31, we will celebrate our second annual Harvest Festival. Students are allowed to wear their costumes to school using the following guidelines:

·      No masks, monsters, or make-up: nothing scary or gross looking

·      No weapons of any sort

·      Skin must be covered: no short skirts, tank tops, see through clothing, etc. – costume must be appropriate for school. If there is a part of the costume that might be see through or short, wear something underneath it

The Harvest festivities will begin at 1:00 p.m. We will have a celebration in the classroom, and we will trick or treat around our school building, as well. If you would like to donate a bag of candy for trick or treating, you can bring it to the office by Wednesday, Oct. 31. If you would like to bring a treat for our classroom celebration, please supply enough nut free treats for 17 students.

Thank you! 

Say Cheese!

Picture day is Wednesday, October 24. I sent order forms home with students earlier this week. All students will have their pictures taken, but you do not need to buy pictures. If you'd like to purchase pictures, please fill out the form and send it in with the money on Oct. 24. Students who buy pictures can dress down on picture day. All other students must wear their uniforms. If you need another order form, there are extras in the office.

Dress Down for a Cause

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and our school will help out by sponsoring a Dress Down for $1.00 day.  Friday, October 12 will be a dress down day to raise money for breast cancer. Students may wear school appropriate dress down clothes for $1.00. Please send the money with students. We hope you'll be able to help raise money for this important cause!

Count Day

Count Day is Wednesday, October 3. Please make sure your student attends school on this very important day.

Thank You!

Thank you so much to the Rahaman family, who donated miniature pumpkins to each of the students in our class. My students were very excited to get the tiny treats!

Thank you also to the families who have been able to donate items to our class. We are always grateful for extra supplies. With cold and flu season quickly approaching, we can always use tissue and Clorox cleaning wipes!

Uniform Reminder

We've had a very busy first two weeks of school. It's great to see most of my students arrive to class in full uniform and ready to learn. I wanted to give you a few reminders so that this can continue.

• Shirts must be tucked in for both girls and boys
• Shoes must be solid black or brown. Students can change into gym shoes for gym class, but they must wear their school shoes for every other part of the day
• Pants with belt loops must be worn with a belt
• Socks and stockings must also be solid colors - no stripes or designs
• Sweaters may be worn in class, but they must be sweater material (no sweatshirts or jackets), be a solid red, black, or white (no designs, patches, emblems, etc.), and can't have a hood
• Shirts must have a collar (no T-shirts)

Thank you for ensuring your student adheres to these guidelines.
