Our first week has been a rousing success! Thanks for sending your students to me eager and 
ready to learn. Here are some things I've discovered this first week...

--We need empty Pringles or tennis ball cans for a Time Capsule project.

--They get hungry!! By 11:00, they start asking me when lunch is and complaining that they are 
hungry. I've started giving them a snack at this time and am asking parents to please 
peiodically send in boxes of crackers, cookies, pretzels, etc. that I can keep on hand for 
snacks. Thanks so much.

--Some students are not filling out their reading logs and ALL parents are not signing them!! 
Each night the student should be logging what they are reading. I check them each morning and 
collect them on Fridays. A new one goes home in their binders on Monday.

--We had our first "Fun Friday" today and I'm pleased to say that only a small handful of 
students didn't get to participate due to missing homework or incomplete classwork. Fun Friday 
is a great incentive to make sure the students are keeping up with their assignments.

As always, I am available by email at a new address stephanie.trzeciakiewicz@vbschools if you 
have any questions or concerns. 
Thanks for a great first week!
