What beautiful SUMMER weather we have today!  We'll have to remember this when it starts snowing.

A reminder that there is no school Thursday afternoon or Friday this week.

I haven't been giving challenge words for spelling because I thought 15 words was already enough.  Some of the students are asking for them and my answer is to make the last five words the challenge.  Learn to spell them without looking!

Last Friday was the first day that the kids were able to cash in their "fuzzies".  It's our form of currency in the class.  They earn them for good behaviour, hard work, etc.  Their purchases are cards with some kind of reward for which they trade it for.  For example, Wear your pyjamas at school, eat lunch with the teacher, bring a stuffy to school.  Some kids are taking advantage of their rewards today.  The rewards are a fun alternative to candy (although some kids are chewing gum today!) and it costs me little to nothing - bonus! 

Thank you for those who have donated food to the 'Feed the Bug' program.  We have two more days to bring some in before the tallies are counted up to see which class earns the coveted Spirit Cup. 

Thank you!
