Ice Cream!!




The week of hard work in the classroom ended on Friday afternoon with a trip to Hawk's Nest for an ice cone. Everyone in our class as well as Mrs. Chateau's class enjoyed a yummy twist. Thank you to the Hawk's Nest for serving us!

Technology


We have new technology available to us at Hamilton Elementary. For the first time this year, we rolled a cart of laptops up to the classroom and everyone had a chance to see how they can log into the pearson success web site. Here they can view their math text book, practice math facts and also play games.

Surgery

On Monday, October 11, I am scheduled to have surgery. Following surgery, I will need to be out of school for at least one week. Mrs. Immink will be subbing for me. I am enjoying getting to know your children well and I am sad that I will have to be gone for so long this early in the year. I’m sure they will make me proud by working hard on the MEAP test, following the rules and cooperating with Mrs. Immink as well as with each other.

October 1

On Friday, October 1, we will be participating in the “Blue Sky Project.” We will spend the morning working on landscaping around the school. As noted in the Hamilton Highlights, this project is sponsored by Johnson Controls. Please think about the following list as you prepare for the day:
• Everyone should wear closed toed shoes and comfortable clothes to work in
• Lunch will be provided. I have let the lunch service know that we will not be needing hot lunches on that day
• Students should bring their own morning snack
• Bring a positive attitude! This is going to be fun!
