Fire Alarm today
Hi parents,
I am sure your student will tell you that the fire alarm went off today and fire trucks showed up. Nothing to worry about - no smoke, no fire.
To my understanding, they closed the door to the kitchen, because they were taking school pics in the lunchroom.
The heat sensors went off because they are right over the oven in the kitchen and with the doors shut it triggered the heat sensors, which set off the fire alarm. No smoke, no fire.
Let me know if you have any questions.
-Mrs. Stevenett

Week of October 28th – November 1st
Thank you for all those who attended SEPs last week. I
really appreciate your support and interest.
Here is what is happening this week:
Baggie Books: Return these every single
day so that the take-home library teacher can check it in. She will either
give your student a new one or let you keep it to keep practicing.
Reading Calendars: DUE Monday, November 4th. A pizza hut coupon will be
given to those who bring it back on or before the 4th, no later.
Spelling: List #5.We will practice test on Thursday and take the
spelling test on Friday.
Math: We have started Topic 4. Remember
that math homework will be sent home each time we have a lesson – almost every
day. It will be the “Practice” side of the sheet. When a student returns 5
homework assignments in, in a row, he/she will be rewarded. The rewards may
include 5 minutes extra recess, time in the computer lab on Timez Attack and
prizes.
Math Timings: Please remember to work with your child every night on his/her
timings. We only need one more student to pass off his/her writing to 100 to
have a Pixie Party.
YPP: We have started Yearly
Progress Pro on the computers. We will do YPP twice a week. Our class goal is
to earn 100 “green dots” on YPP by February 15th to receive a
Cupcake Party.
Thank you, and have a good
week!
