*Monday, October 19th our Target kids will be taking an all day field trip. This will take the place of their regular Thursday Target day. Any students not attending the trip will remain in the regular classroom.

*Wednesday, October 21st is an Early Release Day. Students will have no regular specials, a program, and an early "brunch". Dismissal will be two hours earlier, so please make arrangements for your child for dismissal. Thanks!

*Thanks for all of your support in the Boosterthon. Our class so far has collected over $750.00, and the checks/cash are still rolling in! Way to support Chalker!!!

*Please remember that our Fall Festival is on Saturday, October 24 beginning at 10:00 A.M.  We need all of your donations A.S.A.P, and your help volunteering will be greatly appreciated. It is such a fun and festive day for all!!!

* Many of your children have been doing a great job helping out with some of the special education children during specials in art and music. What a valuable experience for them!

*Report cards will be going home in your child's Friday folder. Please sign the white card and return in the white envelope.(you may keep the actual report card)

 

 

This-n-that

* Picture make up day has been scheduled for Tuesday, October 6th at 10:00 A.M. for our class. If you have already turned in your money, we have been keeping it safe in the vault. If you are still interested in purchasing your child's picture you may turn in the money the morning of the 6th.

*The Boosterthon Fun Run Fundraiser is in full swing. Don't forget to make your pledges online. Go Cavaliere Chargers! All checks should be made out to Chalker PTA. Thanks for your support!! Don't forget to join us, parents, for the actual fun run on October 8th from 10:30 A.M.-11:40. it should be a blast!

* Thanks so much for your help in making our class the 1st place winner in 5th grade for 100% PTA membership! The kids will enjoy a pizza/popsicle party on Tuesday, October 6th at 11:30. They probably will not need a heavy lunch that day. Maybe just some fruit or something light!

* Don't forget we have started our new October A.R. reading goal which is due on October 30th. Your child must acquire 3, 5, or 7 pts. There are all kinds of new A.R. incentives this year such as different color dog tags and t-shirts! A pamphlet will go home Friday with this info!

* The last day for grades this nine weeks is Friday, October 9th. Report cards will be sent home on the 16th in your child's Friday folder.

* Our class has had some difficulty with controlling their talking and socializing in school. Please have a talk with your child about the importance of focusing and paying attention in school. Fifth grade is an important and challenging year. You have a great bunch of children, but I do need to keep my thumb on them frequently!
