Magazine Sales
Thank
you for participating in our magazine fundraiser. It was very successful again this year.
Book-It
As a part of our reading incentive
program, our school has decided to participate in the Pizza Hut Book-It reading
program beginning October 1. Children
will receive a coupon each month for a personal pan pizza if they return their
reading calendar/log at the end of the month.
A reading calendar and record sheet will be sent home soon. Please try
to read with your child each day & put your initials on the calendar on the
days that you read. Please turn it in at the end of October. Thanks.
During the month of September we worked on Starfall, Mathblasters, ABCya, I-station and RAZ Kids either
in the classroom or in the computer lab.
RAZ
Kids is a program that works on reading skills.
The children read books at their level and take a short quiz on it. They earn points for each task completed and
can then use those points to decorate a rocket within the program. They seem to really enjoy it.

Field Trip
We
will be going on a field trip to see a play on Monday, October 21. The play is entitled, “Professor McBumble’s Fabulous Fairy-Tale Follies Revue – The Bully
Show!” and will be performed at Lewis University in Romeoville. The bus
will leave at approximately 9:30 and will return by 11:50. The children will still be able to order a
hot lunch for that day if desired. A permission slip will be sent home
soon. Please fill it out and return it
along with $7 cash. Thanks.
Have a great weekend!
