Your child will be bringing home their Nicholson Fundraiser packets today. Please go through the packet with your child. Today at the assembly we really stressed the importance of selling to people that the kids know and ALWAYS going with an adult. Please re-iterate that with your child. This fundraiser helps our school with many things: field trips, materials, teaching resources, technology, and a lot more. Participation is encouraged! Thanks!

Book Orders Due Tomorrow!
I sent home book orders on Tuesday. They are due this Friday. If you would like to order online, scholastic has a new feature where you can actually pay online (with a debit or credit card) and then books are sent directly to our school. To learn more, check out my parent ordering website.

Thank You!
I appreciate those of you that made it out to Open House last night! It was great to meet you (and some of you, it was a nice re-introduction). This year has got off to a fantastic start and I am excited to continue to work with and teach your children.
Today was the first PTC Meeting. PTC Meets every third Tuesday of the Month and I will work to remind you through my blog about upcoming meetings. Its a great opportunity for parents to work hand in hand with teachers at MES to make it better! It was a great turn out, if you were unable to make it, I encourage you to make it to a meeting or event.
A couple reminders... Our official PE day is Thursday. 4th grade has a PE time where we can "challenge" other classes in PE games. Please be sure your child has the appropriate footwear. Last PE day we had a few students in flip-flops which are definitely unsafe for PE. One option is if you would like your child to have a spare set of tennis shoes and socks here at school, put them in a shoe box and send them. I will find a spot where we can keep them, just to be sure students are prepared for PE. Some non-PE days we even walk the track so it's best to be prepared.
Also, homework packets are due EVERY Friday. I am expecting that students read each night for 20 minutes. They also will have a short reading comprehension passage and some math problems. This all has to be signed as well for students to be considered for Fun Friday. Students seemed to enjoy their well deserved extra recess for turning in their work. It is their responsibility but reminders are encouraged! =)
Please feel free to email me at any time. That is by far the best and quickest way to get ahold of me. My school email address is raethkej@molallariv.k12.or.us
I look forward to a fun and exciting year of learning! =)
