Week 6 Sept. 18-22

Hello Team Urban,

WE WON AGAIN!  2 weeks in a row for the most spirited classroom on Friday!  A HUGE thanks to Joshua Barre for being proactive and bringing in extra shirts for others!! GOOOO Team Urban!

Read-aloud time from the book Wonder has quickly become our favorite time of the day. Students are learning about how our body language and looks can easily be a way to send positive and negative messages to someone without even saying a word. Remember, if you would like your child to obtain a copy of this book from our library to read on their own, please send in a note of permission for them to do so. 

Our Hope for Houston project continues to be a success. We will still be collecting donations, for the next two weeks, until 8/29. 

Book Orders:  I am still accepting orders until 8/29.  We are working towards our goal of 10,000 bonus points.  If you already are buying books, try purchasing from Scholastic.com and help put more books in our classroom. Use group code: GRPY6
