Decorating Pumpkins

Our class was able to decorate pumpkins for Republic Mortgage for the city's pumpkin walk on Friday.  On Thursday, three of our awesome room-moms came and helped us decorate the pumpkins.  Thanks so much to Mrs. Goodliffe for going and buying the pumpkins, gathering art supplies, providing treats, and giving of her time.  Thanks also to Mrs. Collom and Mrs. Francom for coming and helping!  You are great!

Pumpkin Walk Entries

As you can tell, our class had some very creative entries for our pumpkin walk!

Hat Day for Red Ribbon Week

As you can see, we had a very successful hat day today at school!  Remember, tomorrow is "Career Day" where you get to dress up as what you want to be when you grow up.  I can't wait to see all the great ideas!

Practice Cheer for Red Ribbon Week

Our class needs to perform a cheer for red ribbon week:

Practice for next week-

Said to the tune of Yankee Doodle:

Mrs. Madson's class is great

and drugs we will not take.

Instead we'll hop, jump rope, and skate

and many friends we'll make.

We are too smart to take drugs,

we know not to try it.

We'll keep our bodies clean of drugs,

and then we'll be so fit.

Mrs. Madson's class is great,

we are really cool.

We know drugs are dumb and that's

WHY WE RULE THE SCHOOL!

Red Ribbon Week

Next week, from October 25th through the 29th, is our school's Red Ribbon Week.  The PTA does a fantastic job involving the school in activities to promote healthy lifestyle choices.  Please help us support them.  On Monday, they are encouraging everyone to wear red to show, "I support Red Ribbon Week". On Tuesday, the students are encouraged to wear fun hats, "Hats off to living drug free".  On Wednesday, dress like what you want to be when you grow up, "My future is drug free". On Thursday, wear crazy shoes, socks, boots, or slippers, "Stomp out Drugs!" On Friday, wear your favorite team jersey, sports clothes, or cougar shirt, "Live strong and drug free!"  I think it will be a really fun week full of activities.  Join in the fun!

Early Out Wednesday- Conferences Wednesday and Thursday

Remember early out is this week on Wednesday, October 20th at 12:55.  We have parent/teacher conferences on Wednesday and Thursday.  I am excited to get to meet with each of you about your student.  I only have a couple of students who have not brought back their appointment sheets yet.  If you can't remember when your appointment is, or if you have not seen the slip, please email or call me: sherri.madson@besd.net or at school (435) 257-2590. Thanks!

Parent-Teacher Conferences Next Week

I am sending home appointments today with your child for parent/teacher conferences.  With 30 students and parents to conference with, it will be challenging to make any changes.  Please make sure and send back the slip with your child as soon as possible so that I can make any changes that are necessary.  I have had to double up a couple of conferences in order to fit all the families in.  I am excited to meet with each of you next Wednesday or Thursday evening.  Thanks for sharing your awesome children with me!

Short Week

Remember that this week is a short week at school.  We have school from Monday through Wednesday and then have Thursday and Friday off for fall break.  Then, next week, we have early out on Wednesday and Parent-teacher conferences on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings.  Can't wait to see you there!

September Reading Challenge Met and Conquered!!!!

Our entire SILLY wonderful class made the September reading goal this month!  Yeah!  We are missing two of our students today so they are not pictured, but the entire class gets to participate in the extra 20 minutes of PE time this Friday!  Way to go Mrs. Madson's Class!!!!

Friday Planting

Our grade level has been lucky enough to receive a bunch of tulip bulbs from Thanksgiving Point to plant at our school.  We are planning on planting the bulbs this Friday.  If you have a small hand shovel or trowel....something that would dig up the soil in small patches, could you please send it with your student on Friday?  Also on Friday we have the fire department visiting to do a fire drill and an assembly.  It is also the day for our September reading goal party.  Most of our class met the September challenge and will get an extra 20 minutes of outside PE time to celebrate.  For October we will be using the same goal.....all homework papers completed for the month with the at home reading completed.  Please remember to be collecting empty toilet paper rolls for our class.  I can't believe it is already October....time sure flies when you are having fun!
