Week of November 4th through 8th

Hello! I hope you had a nice weekend. Please see below for important announcements for the week.

  • We are continuing to swim this week. The students have been leaving East Side at approximately 8:50 am and return around 10:05. Swimsuits, towels, and any other items your child took for swimming will come home on Friday. I believe that this Friday is free swimming time and you are invited to swim with your child. Ask your child for further details. 
  • My class will also be serving this week. When students serve they will work in the lunchroom from 11:20-12:30. (This includes time to eat lunch!) Please keep this in mind if you want to take your child to lunch this week. Call the school on the day you would like to take your child and find out if he/she is serving. You could also send me an e-mail and I could let you know when your child is serving, too! (smartinez@wsh1.k12.wy.us)
  • Our students are also beginning keyboarding instruction this week. One important keyword that you can use with your child when he/she is using the computer at home is to use their HOME ROW for typing. This will help Mrs. Patt when she is instructing them at school. 
  • The Marty Moose nutritional program will begin next week. (I know--there's a lot going on!) This will occur every Wednesday for 5 weeks from 1:30-2:30. You will see a photo release paper coming home this week. Please don't let the wording scare you. Basically, this photo release allows the Centsible Nutrition teacher, Cindy Aguilar, to take photos of your child; these photos *may* possibly be used in University of Wyoming catalogs--however, I can honestly say I have never seen any photos of my past students anywhere. Please review, sign, and send this photo release back to school as soon as possible. 
  • Just a reminder, the book order is due on November 11th. I realize that the book fair just got done--and I completely understand if you do not plan on ordering books this time. But I do always send a book order home each month. (It's nearly time to start thinking of ordering for Christmas gifts!) If you do ever want to order from a book order and keep it a secret from your child just let me know and I'd be happy to help. 
  • Click on the following link for a shortcut to the school district calendar. This comes in quite handy for me as I use it to access the lunch menu for the week. To access the daily lunch menu, once you arrive at the calendar, click on 'Daily Menus' on whichever day you're wanting to looking at.
  • Please see this week's spelling words below. This week we will be reviewing all the different ways that the short o sound can be made. Short o says AW as in DOT. The different spellings we will discuss this week for short o are: 'a', 'o', 'aw', and 'al'.
