Some of you have expressed interest in donating items to our classroom.  Here is a list of items that we can use more of right now:

• Masking tape
• Vis-a-Vis markers
• Kleenex boxes
• Air pump for balls

Every month I will put up a new list of things we need, so we don't get too much of the same thing.  Thank you!

Book orders are usually sent home the first Monday of every month, and are due by the Friday of that same week.

This October, our class will be starting a reading program as part of our homework.  It is sponsored by the San Jose Sharks!  Students will be keeping track of the amount of pages they read each month on a special reading log.  A new reading log will be given to each student every month.  You can also find the reading log in the Mrs. Fickes Locker on the right hand side of our website.

To learn more, please go to the Reading Is Cool website or read the Letter to Parents in the Mrs. Fickes Locker.
