Wednesday Folder – October 18, 2017

Carnival Is Coming!

Friday, October 27th, 5-8pm

We need volunteers!! Please take a minute to sign up to work a shift in a game booth! (Sign up sheets are on big purple posters in each grade level hallway- 2nd grade is at the top of the stairs near the office.) If you can’t make it to the school, please contact your child’s teacher and ask them to sign you up. We’d hate to have to close some of our booths due to lack of volunteers, so please sign up!

We are also still looking for some Lighting Crew helpers the night before Carnival, Heavy Lifting the day of, and Clean up helpers that night. If you are able to help with any of these special needs, please contact Toni Wakefield at toniwake@gmail.com.

Donations Needed for Carnival!

Are you stepping on action figures in the middle of the night?
Finding it hard to close the toy trunk with all those stuffed animals?
Tired of the growing collection of post-party goodie bag chotchkies accumulating on your countertops?

Well here’s the answer to your kid-cluttered household quandary…

TURN YOUR “ONE KID’S CLUTTER” INTO “ANOTHER KID’S TREASURE” BY DONATING UNWANTED (GENTLY USED) TOYS TO TRAVIS HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY FOR USE AS PRIZES DURING OUR FALL SCHOOL CARNIVAL!

HOW? Boxes for donations are outside the office. Please bring donations by this Friday, Oct. 20th if possible.

Online Reading Resources

Ms. Underwood has put together a great list of online reading resources our students have access to. Check it out in your Wednesday Folder or in the attachments below.

Check out grade level blogs!

PreK has been learning about Families, 1st Grade studying evaporation, 2nd grade writing personal narratives and biographies, 3rd grade starting a Hispanic Heritage PBL, and 4th grade practicing multiplication and division. This is just a small sampling of the creative learning our Thunderbirds are doing. You can read about it all on our grade level blogs (under the Classrooms section of the website). While you’re there, be sure to sign up to receive notices whenever a new post is made for your child’s grade.
