Weekly Reminders: Rooms 20 & 21
Dear Room 20 & 21 Parents,
We had a wonderful first week back at school, and this week we are all readjusted to our early wake-up times, school and home assignments, and our relationships with friends. Since this month is Common Sense in our Megaskills calendar, we recommend that our students practice this skill by preparing their clothing choices carefully for our cool mornings, checking their assignments for required elements before bringing them to school on their due dates, and using respectful and courteous language when working with others to get what you need. When we practice sensible behavior, we increase our ability to be responsible for ourselves, and we also make the lives of those around us safer, easier, and happier! Try it out this week and see for yourself how true this can be!

Sacramento Field Trip Update
This is a reminder to all our families that our registration forms and checks for the May 5, 2011 trip to Sacramento are due to us at school on January 20, 2011. This field trip is tied directly to our social studies curriculum for this year, so we expect our students to attend. If you have any issues regarding attendance, please contact us via e-mail or in person; we can speak privately to resolve any situations that may arise for you or your student. If you need a replacement registration form, we do have extras available- please request a form from your family room teacher. The cost is $115.00, and this covers all field trip expenses including transportation, museum entry fees, and meals. There are no special terms or conditions for this trip, so simply fill out the form, sign and date it, and include your payment. Thanks to all of our families who have already turned in their forms, and we look forward to receiving the remaining outstanding forms in the next two weeks.
On an additional note, Miss Scourkes and Mr. Roels both have only two parents signed up for the Sacramento field trip to chaperone. It would be really be ideal if there was a third parent for each class. The cost for parent chaperones is $80.00. If you expressed an interest previously in being a chaperone and are waiting to send in your registration, or if you are now interested in going along as a chaperone, please let us know as soon as possible if you can attend. Thank you!
Volunteer Parent Needed!
One of our current spelling homework correctors moved over the break, and Room 20 needs another parent to help correct spelling homework each week. Currently Mrs. Sridhar is correcting one set, but this does take up valuable time when she could be working with students. We have all of the instructions, models, and current scores to help you get started and will have you practice with Mrs. Sridhar at the beginning until you get the hang of it. Being a weekly corrector would be a huge help to our classroom. Is this something you would consider? Please let Miss Scourkes know if you are interested. Thank you!
Unclaimed present!
Of the many wonderful presents I've received, there is one bag without a tag. :( It is bright blue and has small circles on it. Inside are Gardenia lotion and perfume. If this gift is from your family, will you please let me know? I'd love to thank you.
