1) The children have been working on a long term project for several weeks now. They wrote stories and are now typing and illustrating them on an online publishing site. We have a limited time to type and edit at school, so I am asking you to help your child at home by helping with the editing and possibly some of the typing. I have used this site for years and it is wonderful! Every child will receive a free book. I will be sending home an order form in case you want to order more copies. Regardless of wether you order more copies, I need you to sign the form stating that you were given the opportunity to order. This enables your child to receive the free book. The due date for our books to be completed on the web site is April 12th. Your child has a code and the site is called studentpublishing.com.
2) All year the children have been working at a classroom job. They have had the opportunity to earn and save money. Auction time is quickly approaching! This is an exciting day in which the children will get to spend all their saved money! I have been collecting items throughout the year, but I need your help too. If you could donate an item or two, that would be great! Example items donated in the past are: water toys for summer, Nerf guns, balls, etc......basically anything your child would like would work. You don't have to spend a lot of money (a $2 or $3 item is fine), anything will help. I really appreciate your help with this! It gets quite expensive trying to make the auction special for 24 kids without your help. Thanks so much! Our auction will be the first part of May. If you are able to help out you can send the donations any time. Please sign and return the bottom portion of the copy I am sending home with your child or send me a message stating you can help with your child's book and let me know if you can donate an auction item.
