Field Trip Oct. 15!

Hello Parents!
Thanks to a PTA Classroom Grant that was awarded to Third Grade, we will be going to Zoo Montana on Oct. 15!  Our field trip will support our Science curriculum of Life Cycles and we will observe animals in their surroundings.
Please send the permission slips back by Oct. 10th with the $2.50 so we can know for sure how many children will be able to participate.
On Monday, October 15 please send:

•  cold lunch with your child (no pop please or glass containers - walking with backpacks most of the day can cause things to get shook up and possibly break)
• walking shoes with a jacket.
• backpack to carry items needed 

Book IT Reading Logs Start Oct. 2nd

Dear Parents,
The only way to get better at reading is to do it. So, with the help of the BOOK IT!® Program, our class will be “reading our hearts out” for the next six months.
The BOOK IT! Program is all about turning kids who read because they have to into kids who read because they WANT to. Your child has the opportunity to earn Reading Award Certificates by meeting monthly reading goals that I will set. The reading award certificate can be redeemed at Pizza Hut® where your child will receive their very own free, one-topping Personal Pan Pizza® to celebrate the reading accomplishment.
There is no purchase necessary and pizza can be taken to go. On the first visit, they will also receive an official BOOK IT! Passport to Reading and sticker to track their reading throughout the program months. On subsequent visits, they will get another free Personal Pan Pizza and sticker to add to their passport. Awesome!
The BOOK IT! Program is sponsored by Pizza Hut and has been in elementary schools now for more than 27 years. You might have participated in the program when you were in school! To learn more, please visit bookitprogram.com/parents.
I hope you will join us and encourage your child to read their heart out.
Program Dates:
October 1, 2012 - March 31, 2013
