Peace Day Parade
Students painted shirts yesterday with peace signs and decorations. They turned out amazingly beautiful! Today, we wore our shirts, kept beat with musical instruments, bells, tambourines, maracas), and sang, "All we are saying is give peace a chance," and wove our way through classrooms and buildings. We handed out stars to parents and staff we saw along the way, wishing them peace. We wish the world peace, too.
We were sad that 4 students were absent today, so did not have opportunity to join our parade.

Dear Students and Families,
Homework going home today is due next Monday, September 27th. Make sure your child has a set place and time to do homework. Let's set a goal for every child to complete and turn in homework every week!
Wednesday, September 23rd, is the International Day of Peace. We will paint t-shirts with pictures of peaceful acts and symbols. Please bring a white or light colored plain t-shirt to decorate.
School begins at 7:45 and is dismissed at 1:55. If you need to pick up your child before 1:55, you must go to the office and get a release, then bring it to the classroom. I encourage parents to schedule appointments after school hours whenever possible.

Dear Students and Families,
Thank you for doing such a fine job completing and turning in homework last week! Homework going home today is due next Monday, September 20th. Stop and see last week's wonderful book reports posted in the hallway. Let's set a goal for every child to complete and turn in homework this week!
I received no Scholastic book orders last week. I will send home new forms in October.
T-shirts: I have a few t-shirts, size small (about size 6), left from last year that you may purchase for $5.00. Last year's shirts look exactly the same as this year's. The price for this year's shirts is $7.00. Students may wear school t-shirts any day to school, as a change from uniforms. School t-shirts are great for fieldtrips, too. I encourage all students to purchase school t-shirts.
Thank you for getting your child in our room, by 7:45 AM so, he/she may eat breakfast, and be ready to start the day off right. All students at Helen Cordero are eligible for free breakfast and lunch. Please do not bring your child before 7:25 AM, for that is when Duties arrive. It is not safe for your child to be on school grounds before the Duties.
If you have not returned the "Permission to Include Your Child in Class Photos," I am sending home a final copy today. Please sign and return the form. I need to know, "yes" or "no," do you give permission for your child to be in photos.

Please check your child's backpack daily. Make sure it is clean and free of things not appropriate for school. Students should not bring chips, candy, toys, electronics such as Game Boys, or drinks (other than water) to school. Students may bring water bottles with water inside and names outside.
Friday Jeans
On Fridays, students may
chose to wear jeans (without
holes), but still must wear
uniform shirts.
Please consider using the parent
pick up and drop off lane
mornings and afternoons instead
of parking and walking. It is safe,
and probably faster. Duties are there
in the mornings, beginning at 7:25, and either Ms. Laura or I stay with the children after school until they are picked up. Children not picked up by 2:10 are taken to the office to wait for parents.

Dear Families,
In yesterday's newsletter, I failed to fill in some blanks for you concerning dates and times of parenting classes. Below is the information you need.
Nurtured Heart Approach for parents training on Thursday, Sept. 16th from 5 pm to 7 pm in the Library. Child care will be provided.
Mind in the Making classes for our families will be starting next Wednesday, September 8th. This is a wonderful opportunity for our families. There will be two sessions, one in English and one in Spanish, both held at the same time. These will run every Wednesday through October 20th. Childcare will be provided.
Sincerely, Mrs. Wise

Dear Students and Families,
Homework goes home today, and is due Tuesday, September 7th. There is no school Monday because of the Labor Day holiday. Homework includes daily reading logs and weekly book reports. Parents, please help your child fill out the reading logs. But, students should write their own book reports. Students need to read, or be read to, at least 20 minutes every day.
Scholastic book order forms are going home today, and will go home about once a month. Scholastic offers a way to purchase low cost, grade level books for your child's home library. Please make checks payable to me when ordering books. Cash is okay, too. It takes about two weeks to receive orders.
Open House is Tuesday, September 31st, 5:30-6:6:30 for the Green Building (that's us!). Open House is a time to come see our beautiful school and meet your child's teachers and Helen Cordero's staff. Everyone is welcome.
The morning bell rings at 7:45. Students should be at their classroom, ready to go in and begin the day when the bell rings. Breakfast is served every morning to every student in the classroom. Breakfast is over at 8:00 A.M. It is very important for students to arrive on time, and to be at school every day possible! Missing a day, or being tardy, causes your child to miss important activities and learning.
Permission slips to photograph your child go home today. Photographs of lessons, activities and student work will be posted on my blog. No personal, student or family information will be posted. I believe you will enjoy seeing your kids in action in the classroom and around school. On my blog, you will find copies of class newsletters, important school news, dates, and events. You can join in with comments, too!
To see my blog, go to http://turtlezoop.blogspot.com
Check your child's backpack daily for important notes and papers.
You may call me at home if you have questions. The best time to reach me is between 4:30 and 6:00 PM on weekdays, or all day Saturday and Sunday. Please call no later than 9:00 PM.
I check my email everyday, so that is a great way to contact me also!
