Memory Books

Posted on May 27, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

Thanks in major part to Mrs. Engel-Larot (Anika’s Mom) there will be a lovely Kindergarten Memory book for every student at the end of the school year. A few families have not yet provided a donation ($7.00) to cover the cost of materials. I have not sent a reminder in quite a while. Please send your donations this week.

We are in need of a parent who can take a special photo of each student to include in the Memory Books. I have the props and camera, I just need a helper. Let me know if it will be you!

URGENT NOTICE

Posted on February 24, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

Dear Kindergarten Families,

I am so very sorry to announce that I am postponing our 100th Day Celebration. I have only received 10 of the 24 donations needed for our party. The donations were due by today so I could prepare our materials in advance. I cannot possibly do preparations during our party. If you do not remember what item was requested, please check your child’s backpack for the original note. If you don’t find it, I can look on my master list for you. If you are unable to provide that item, please let me know so I can find a suitable substitute. Our schedule is very full so we will try again with our party on Wednesday, March 11th. Classroom helpers will be most welcome.

OTHER IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Wednesday Feb 25th Permission slips and $5.oo donation are due. Half the class is ready to go. Please let me know if your child will NOT be going. I will have to cancel the trip if I do not receive completed permission slips from EVERY student. LATE ITEMS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Thursday Feb 26th is Picture Day
Thursday Feb 26th Homework and pages and folder are due
Friday Feb 27th Field Trip to Franklin High School for Peter Pan. We leave at 9:15 AM and return at 11:20 AM.

Thank you in advance for helping me make lemonade out of lemons.

Speaking of Donations…

Posted on February 2, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

If you are purchasing new cellphones, please consider donating your old phones to our class. I can use any kind of old smartphone, iPod or iPod Touch to set up learning centers in our room. Of course, an old iPad or KindleFire would be over the top wonderful to have. We won’t mind a cracked screen either!

If you have ever been curious about other kinds of donations to make our classroom a center of 21st Century Learning, please consider passing along an Apple Store gift card. I am setting aside money to purchase another iPad for the classroom. It is my goal to provide daily access to technology for every one of my students. Your support would be major boost towards achieving it!

E-Waste Recycle Day is SATURDAY

Posted on January 26, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

If you are looking for a way to get rid of some old electronics, we have your solution. Just bring those items to the Carroll parking lot on Saturday, January 31st between 9 AM and 1PM. You get your garage cleaned out a bit and our school earns some money for new computer equipment. It’s a win-win!

Thanks for the Tissues!

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

Thank you so much for the substantial response to my request for tissues. Thirteen boxes were donated, Wow! That should keep us covered for a while. We could still use one or two bottles of hand sanitizer, however. So keep us in mind when you head to the store. 😀

Dinner Night Out

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

Our PTA is sponsoring a Dinner Night Out (DNO) at Rubio’s on Thursday, January 22nd. It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider stopping by for a meal or a snack. Twenty percent of all sales will be donated to our school. Be sure to tell the cashier to include your total in the count for Carroll.
