What came home today:
- Grandparent's Day Information Flier
- Little Maroons Basketball Flier- Park Township Recreation Flier

Homework Folders:
On Monday, the students will need to bring their Homework folders back to school. At the end of the day, the folders will include...
- Spelling Words - Practice sorting the words throughout the week. Test on Friday
- Math Homework - In 2 minutes, accomplish as many facts as you can (Due Mon.)
- Math Facts Minutes - Goal to accomplish 50 minutes, using the math links on the blog or playing math fact war (Due Mon.)
- Reading Minutes - Goal to read 150 minutes (Due Mon.)
THINK! ENERGY:
On Tuesday, your child came home with a THINK! ENERGY Take Action Kit. This kit will ask you and your child to work on some energy related changes in your home. There is a Student Guide included in the kit that will walk you through everything you can do with your kit. Additionally, there was a white Home Energy Worksheet. That worksheet is homework and will be due back to school by Tuesday, October 8. (I do not need the Family Activity Guide book back.) That gives you a couple weeks to read through and work through the guide and complete the experiments and installations provided. Please note, if you are not interested in installing everything in the kit, you do not have to! The white home energy sheet simply asks if you installed the products or not. We still get credit toward the grant for the rest of the work you do, even if you do not install everything.
Lunch Helpers:
I am in need of some lunch helpers on Wednesday. Please use this link to sign up. I appreciate your volunteering SO MUCH!
Grandparents Day (Oct. 3):
We are busy planning and preparing a very special celebration for your parents on Grandparents/friends Day! Our celebration will be held on Thursday, October 3 from 9:30-11:15 (9:30-Program, 10:15-11:15-Visit classrooms). Today, an official invitation was sent home containing more details about the morning! We have a bit more practice to do to polish up our program but we think this is going to be such a special time celebrating intergenerational love and God's providence!
If you are willing and able, we could use help with an array of snacks at our grandparent aide station. Your parents are going to be kept BUSY during our open house style classroom/grandchild visits. They will be jetting from classroom to classroom and may need a cup of coffee and cookie to keep up the energy. If you are willing to provide a treat, here is a Sign Up Genius to take a peek at. As always, we appreciate your support and can't wait to welcome your parents to glimpse the joy and life at Rose Park.
