Grasshopper News
Conferences: It was wonderful to meet with all of you this week. I was very excited to share with you how your grasshopper has been growing over this first half of the school year. Please remember Cobb County doesn't have spring conferences scheduled this year. If you would like to meet again, just drop me a line. I'd be glad to set up a time. Conferences continue on Monday. Remember that Monday is an early release day.
Penny Wars: We collected over 3000 pennies!! That is awesome.
100's Day: What great 100's Day collections. The students shared everything from candy hearts to rubber bands, Lego's to coins, and Q-tips to toothpicks plus much more. Thank you for counting these out with your child. It was terrific practice. We also read stories about 100's Day, wrote stories about when we're 100 years old, transformed the number 100 into something new, went on a 100 number scavenger hunt and much more.
600 Minutes: This is a terrific program and very easy to do. Just mark the amount of time your child reads. It can be on their own, with you or with a sibling. If your minutes totals to 600 or more, your child will receive a free ticket to Six Flags. Please return your reading record sheets by the date posted on the front. I'll take care of the rest.
Art Day: Friday, February 1st is Art Day here at Sope Creek. The students will be rotating through many different activities involving all kind of art. Kindergarten has been asked to wear white shirts. Don't go out and buy something new, they can wear a family members shirt for the day. We've been asked to collect the shirts by Wednesday. Please help as this is a school wide activity and each grade level has been asked to wear a specific color.
Changes in Transportation: Please remember that if you need to change how your child is going home, we need a signed and dated note, on a full sheet of paper. We cannot accept changes in transportation over the phone or from other family members.
