5G News for the Week

Here are a few notes for the week:

1. There is an Edmodo assignment that is due on Wednesday. For your kids to write a great memoir this week, they need your help in choosing an event to write about. Please read the Edmodo assignment and talk with them before they complete the assignment.

2. This is Spirit Week at Young. See the "Important Events" Tab so your child can participate if interested.

3. The PTA Fundraiser ends tomorrow. If your child participated in this, all materials are due tomorrow.

4. Picture Day is Tuesday. Be sure your child dresses as you wish and I will make sure they look as pretty and handsome as possible in front of the camera.

5. There will be a Spirit Council Fundraiser on Monday, October 22 from 5-10p.m., at
Sky High Sports in Naperville. A flyer came home on Friday. The Bears game will be on as the kids jump and have fun. I will copy extra flyers in case the original was misplaced. I will be there from 7-9p.m.

6. There is early dismissal this Wednesday at 12:10.

7.  All Genre Exploration activities are now linked on the blog under the Genre Explorations Tab.  The October book your child has chosen should be read by October 24 so he or she can have a full week to work on the project and writing.  Students can begin the project as they are reading and complete it during the last week before the book share.
