Classroom Items Needed-Board Games
During the winter months, when it gets too cold to go outside we have indoor recess. During indoor recess the students have the opportunity to play board games, but a lot of the board games in our classroom are old and missing pieces and torn apart. So we are in need of new and/or gently used board games. Any board game that is age appropriate, would be welcome
Some suggestions that the students have made are: Monopoly, Trouble, Sorry, Battleship, Checkers, Life, Candyland, Guesstures, Boggle, Perfection, and Simon Flash.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...
Ms. Howard, who has already purchased Connect 4 for the class.
As always, whatever you could donate would be greatly appreciated!

New AMPT Schedule
I have just updated the right-side of the blog for the new AMPT schedule that begins on Monday, November 7th!
Thank You
To all of the families that contributed items to our Fall Celebration. The students had a blast! It was nice spending time with Mrs. Lewis and Ms. Howard. Thank you ladies for all of your help with set-up and clean up!
Also a HUGE thank you to...
Michale and Jordan L. for purchasing velcro for our "Work Worth Treasuring" wall. I am excited to say that it should be functional on next Friday for the students to display their work!
Music Field Trip on Next Friday
Don't forget that we have a field trip next Friday, November 11th. A note was sent home two weeks ago in your child's Friday folder. In case you didn't received the note from our music teacher, Mrs. Ritter, here is a reminder of what it stated...
Dear Parents and Friends of 4th and 5th graders—
I hope this message finds you well! I want to inform you about an upcoming music field trip opportunity for our 4th and 5th grade students. On Friday November 11th, students will go to Ann Arbor to see a live performance by the “Rebirth Brass Jazz Band” from New Orleans! This dynamic group is both known for their traditional brass sound, as well as their combination of funk, jazz, soul and hip-hop, while celebrating the traditional New Orleans music traditions and heritage. Prior to the field trip, students will be learning about the origins of jazz, and the importance of New Orleans in the birth of this musical style.
The cost to attend this field trip is $10, which includes bussing to Ann Arbor, and concert ticket. Students will leave UPA at 9:30 to attend the 11:00 performance.
If your student will be attending, please send them with $10 to their classroom teacher by Friday, Novemeber 4th. Also, if you are willing to be a parent chaperone on the trip, please email me at kritter@uprep.com.
Thanks and I look forward to sharing this fantastic musical experience with your students!
--Ms. Ritter
