September 2, 2011

Welcome back on track!! We will see you on Tuesday. We hope everyone had a great off track. Please check in your child's homework folder for the reading and volunteer calendars. We will also send home book orders. If you would like to order Scholastic Books, please return the book order and payment to your child's homeroom teacher. We are also sending home a Highlights Magazine order form. These are wonderful magazines to order if you can, but if you choose not to, please say no and sign the form since we both get free things for the classroom--the more forms we get the more free things we get, even with a "no" answer.
Chinese classes will be starting the vocabulary words this week.  We will cover these words thoroughly in class.  The homework this week is practicing writing these characters.  Be sure you child can tell you what they mean and write them.  I will also be sending home a bookmark with these characters.
If you have responded as interested in the Better Chinese Program--good news!  It is only $25.  Please make out a check for $25 to Foothills Elementary.  The sooner we have the required numbers, we can open the account.  We have a trial account now.  This is the information you need get on the sight.  Anyone can try it out.  The site is: www.betterchinese.com.  Please use the user name: janet.craven@jordan.k12.ut.us (my e-mail address) and the password is 123456.  Then you will need to click on "log in".  I have spent a few hours checking the site out and I think it will be a great help to our students.  If you have any questions, just give me a call (801-446-5271).  Thanks and have a fun time with it!

Please return the bookorder by Friday, Sept. 9th.

Thank you!

Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Craven
