| We need volunteers so this doesn't happen to our brains! |
A quick one today…however we have some big big things to communicate:
1) Brain Week and our need for help.
We need some volunteers for our brain week dissection next week. You do not have to personally slice and dice. The students will have access to some fairly sharp dissection instruments therefore you just need to oversee their proper use.
The time we need help:
Thursday, September 18th from 10:15 a.m. through 12:30
If you can please RSVP to both rodriguezmurrah@dublinusd.net
and myself.
2. Book Orders:
We sent home the book club orders for the month.
As a big www.amazon.com fanboy, I understand the price of the books at Scholastic can fluxaute. The majority of book prices will be slightly higher than at Amazon. However, especially with paperbacks, their prices can also be lower than Amazon’s.
Then why bother? Scholastic is quite generous with their free books and free teacher points. I use those points to purchase more books for our in-class library. It really is a mitzva back to our class.
Here is the information:

3. 12:40 is our lunch time and your son & daughter may need more food in order to succeed.
When we have holding circle time I have been surveying the students regarding who ate breakfast and who has not. We consistently have about six kids a day who are not eating breakfast. Students, more so than adults, really require a hearty breakfast.
We also have some kids who are clearly famished the last 40 minutes before lunch. Some kids go as far as to outwardly complain about their amount of hunger.
Provided money isn’t an issue, I would recommend either amping up the protein in the morning breakfast or giving your child a slightly heartier morning snack.
Snacking logistics in room C-4:
- I do NOT mind if your child snacks quietly and neatly during the day.
- I do mind unhealthy sugar-based (not conducive towards learning) or messy snacks (those darn cheesy fried things get EVERYWHERE).
- Due to their packaging, potentially loud or distracting snacks should be opened up at home and then put into tupperware or ziplock bags.
- Reminder -- absolutely no nuts are to be consumed in our classroom. We have students that we are protecting therefore the only nuts in C5 are the 24 students and myself.
Kind regards,
