Please consider joining us at Creekside TOMORROW for Bingo for Books! This event is completely free! Families will get a free pizza dinner, and each child playing Bingo will leave with a free book! I'll be there helping out, stop by and say hi!
Box Tops
Please keep sending in Box Tops labels to our classroom and help our school earn money! Also we gladly accept Box Tops, Campbell's Labels (also found on V8, Pepperidge Farm, etc.), Coke points (worth $.05 each; parents can enter those online and donate the points themselves, or I can enter them), Tyson Project A+ labels ($.24 each), Sunbeam School Spirit upc's ($.05 each), and also pop can tabs for Riley Hospital.
Parent Teacher Conferences (also known as Creekside Family Conferences!)
In your child's folder TODAY you will find a sign up sheet for parent-teacher conferences that will be held October 10th and 11th. Please sign up your preference for a time to come meet with me to discuss your child's progress, and return to school as soon as possible. It will be no problem giving everyone their first choice of day, but please understand you may not get your top choice of times. I will do my best to accommodate each family, but with 27 children and many having the same top three choices, it just isn't possible. But I promise to get as close to your time as I can. I will give preference first to those who turn their forms in sooner! Our goal is 100% parent participation, so let's make it happen for our class! Your time slot will be confirmed with you at the end of the month.
We took our Unit 1 math test today. As soon as I get those graded and recorded, I will send them home! At first glance, it looks like we did pretty well! :)

On Friday, we took our unit 1 Superkids tests. We did this on the chrome books in our classroom. I sent a print out of those results home in folders today. Please look them over, and let me know if you have questions or concerns.
