Hello Red Ribbon Givers,

Today is the day that you should give your Red Ribbons to your loved ones.  If you haven't already, you should color them and pass them to the people in your life that will help keep you on a drug-free path.

Please order your lunch, wash your hands and read the message.  Next, I'd like you to update your reading status.  It has been a few days since you had to do this.  Remember I am looking for a complete sentence telling about your book...capitalization and punctuation are important.  After that has been updated, please complete the last of your pumpkin measurements.

Now that your heirloom projects are complete, we can begin a free share.  __Clara__________, ___Donald_____ and ____Jessie_____ will share.  _Ian_ will do the announcements.

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey

Dear Socky Students,

Are you ready to "sock it to" drugs?  I hope so!  I can't wait to see your crazy socks!

Please wash your hands, order your lunch and read the message.  It is almost the end of the month!  Today, as you are waiting for a chance to measure your pumpkin, please add your book club book to your list of books read.  This is a good time to add any other books you have finished recently.  I will check in with you on Friday to see how many books you have read!  Once  your have done one measurement and updated your reading list, please take some time to organize your desk.  If you are feeling organized, you can work on some unfinished Daily 4 work.

All of yesterday's sharers will share their heirloom project.  _Megan_____ will do the announcements.

Dear Team Mates,

I hope you are indeed ready to "team up" against drugs.  Even if you didn't wear a jersey, you can commit to living your live without illegal drugs!

To start your day, return your books to the cart.  Please wash your hands, read the message and order your lunch.  Next, you should glue the chart I gave you into your Math Notebook.  You will use this chart to record various measurements over the next few days.  While you wait for further directions, please number your spelling pretest folder from 1-20.  We will have a pretest right after the announcements.  I will also do a demonstration of some of the measurements in a few minutes.

I am looking forward to a full day of learning with you!  __TRE_______, ___BILL_______, __NATHAN_____, ___Izabella____ and __Hudson____ will share their heirloom projects.  Caprice will do the announcements.

Dear Red Wearing Students,

Happy Red-Ribbon Week to you all!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  I am looking forward to working with you this week!  Today, you will take a test on Topic 4 in Math.  You will be able to show your knowledge of place value, rounding and comparing numbers.  To make sure you are ready, we will have a rounding snow ball fight.  It should be fun and educational!

___Evan________, _Mark_________, ______Donald_____    _MEGAN_______, _______Izabella________ and ____LESLIE____ will share an heirloom project.  ____Chris____ will do the announcements.

Please wash your hands, read the message and order your lunch.  Next, please read the new poem.  Finally, I need you to make two more flashcards like the one I gave you.  You can choose any number between 50, 000 and 999, 999.  Write the number in LARGE print on the blank sheet of paper.  We will use these a little later today.

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey

Dear Friday Friends,

You should order your lunch, read the message and wash your hands like normal.  Next, please get a head start on your Run-ons Run Wild page.  Remember, this is the page you put in your work folder yesterday!  I challenge you to use a semi-colon (;) to connect two short sentences!

Dear Marvelous Map Readers,

Hi there!  I hope all is well with you today!  Please come in, read the message, order  your lunch and wash your hands.  I have a bit of a change for you today- it will be interesting to see who reads the message and follows the directions!

Dear Motivated Monday Monsters,

Hello.  I hope you are well today.  I hope my greeting doesn't offend you.  I was just trying to use that sound device we have talked about recently.  Do you remember what it is called?  See if you can find the name hidden in this message!

Please order your lunch, read the message and update your reading status.  Next, you should read today's poem.  Finally, please update your personal choice list using last week's pretest and spelling test. Billy will do the announcements today.
