Thanks again for all your help with the RIFA donations!

RIFA donations :)

262 Items

We have 262 items for RIFA! :)  Our next goal is 300 :)

150 Items

We collected 150 items today!  We reached our first 2 goals, and we are half-way to 300 :)  The kids are super excited, and I am happy to see them learning about helping others!

42 Items :)

Yay!  We have 42 items to donate to RIFA!  We only need 8 more to get to our first goal!!  Remember you can bring any canned food item, non-perishable food, or anything on RIFA's list.

Thanks so much!!

RIFA

Our class will begin collecting items tomorrow for RIFA.    We want to learn about helping others and giving to people in need.  I am attaching the link to the RIFA website where you can see the list of items that they need.http://www.rifajackson.org/

We would like to have everything by Friday, so we can take it before Thanksgiving week.
Our classroom goals will be in 3 increments:

When we reach 50 items -  We will have 30 extra minutes of Free Choice on Friday

If we reach 100 items - We will have 30 extra minutes of Free  Choice and 30 extra minutes of Recess

If we reach 300 items - We will have 30 extra minutes of Free Choice , 30 extra minutes of recess, and a movie with popcorn.

If we reach 500 items - We will have 30 extra minutes of Free Choice, 30 extra minutes of Recess, a movie with popcorn, drinks, and mini-cupcakes.

An item can be any canned good, non-perishable food item, or an item on RIFA's list of needs.

Thanks for helping!
Mrs. B

Book Fair

Our Book Fair times next week are Monday 12:30 - 12:55  and   Thursday 9:00 - 9:25

Updates

Thanksgiving Lunch will be Thursday - 11:25 is our lunch time

Students need to come up with an idea for a Hawaiian Christmas ornament by Friday.  They DO NOT need to make anything!  They just need an idea.  We will make the actual ornament in class next week.

Thanks,

Mrs. B
