Mrs. Rojas Superheroes 2018-2019: Week of October 29th

Good evening!! We have so much to talk about. First let me thank everyone for being so understanding and patient when my dad passed. I am still trying to get back to normalcy. Mrs. Jackson did buy a nice vase of flowers which I absolutely loved and I received cards from some of you. Thank you so much!!

Secondly, thank you to Mrs. Barker, Mrs. Anthony, and Mrs. Bell for going on the field trip with us. I know it was hard due to the rescheduling of the trip but we appreciate it and for those who were not able to make it, we definitely understand. We had an awesome time and the kids were able to make connections to what we had been learning about adaptations in science. They were able to practice eating as a bird using its adaptations with different tools and they made bird beaks with adaptations. It was an awesome field trip!!

Third, we are now during our annual school fundraiser through Boosterthon. If we can get some pledges from our classroom that would be great! Students will receive incentive prizes for donations they get. We had our Pep Rally on the 24th and our Fun Run will take place on Friday, November 2nd at 9:45. You are welcome to come and cheer our runners on!!! The MindSpark kids are helping our students solve mysteries while developing the leadership characteristics which we have been working on this year. Funds raised will be used to help with field studies, classroom supplies, and other school improvements.

Next, our first quarter officially came to an end on Friday and report cards will go home on this coming Friday, November 2nd. I know this has been a transition time for the kids and I appreciate you all for the support, conferences, and work that you have been vested in to make this year successful for your child. I am definitely old school and my belief is that "It Takes a Village!" I hope you can see the growth your child has made and is making through our teamwork! Please, if you have any questions or concerns, send me an email or note and I will get back to you with an answer.

Lastly, we have had many bell ringers since my last post!! We have those who completed their 2's on the first try, those who have completed addition on Xtra math, and those who have completed personal goals!! Please enjoy the pictures!!
