The Week of October 16th

 The Blue Jays Weekly Newsletter 


In the Classroom

Our community has been working on fractions and data collection in the classroom. Students will begin work on research projects in school this week. They will be researching animals from Asia and creating projects to present what they've learned to the class. They will also be learning about measurement with the help of a pumpkin!


Field Trips

Field trip forms went home in folders with all students last week. Children should return signed permission slips in their folders if they have not yet done so. We will be heading out to Tybee Island on October 31st and to PACK on November 8th. You can find more information about PACK here.



The PTA Fall Festival will be Friday, October 21st, from 6-7:30pm. You can look forward to the following:
Giveaways and Games
Plant Swap
Reflections Showcase
Spirit Wear Sales
Face Painting
Food Trucks
and much more!

Book Character Pumpkin Patch
It is time to prepare for the Annual Book Character Pumpkin Patch, which will be held the week of October 24th in the Ellis Media Center.
**This year, every student who brings a book character pumpkin to display will be entered in a raffle to win a choice between two special prizes.**






BOOK IT! Reading Program
