Good Morning Emerson Eagles!
Dream, Believe, Achieve!
Today is Thursday, February 3, 2011

Question of the Day:
What's up?  That's a great question, but before you say "the sky," you had better think about how to answer this question correctly.  Remember that you have to answer in a complete sentence and you have to respond correctly to the question.  Here are a couple of possible responses:
There's not much going on except a lot of homework!
So much is going on, I don't know where to start.  What's up with you?  Pleas ask this question to at least 3 people
Writing:
I have received a few letters over the past few days from Emerson students.  One of the most memorable letters was from 3 students who asked why we don't get to go on more field trips.  If you really want something, it is worth writing a letter asking for it. 

Upcoming Events:
Saturday School is this Saturday from 8 am until 12:20. The computer carts will be there with opportunities for First in Math. But also, we are going to have a garden work day on Saturday. Saturday School Students will get to go out to the garden to plant potatoes. If anyone would like to join together in our community garden on Saturday from 8 until 11 am, please come on out!

First In Math
Congratulations to Mr. Cortez' Class- Team of the Week!

Yesterday afternoon during HEARTS, I chalenged the students to try to increase our sticker count from 135,000 up to 140,000.  That was a huge goal, and eventhough we didn't make it, we almost made it.  Last night we reached 139,500!Remember, First in math is not going to be your priority in the classroom, but you may have the opportunity to play from time to time after you have completed your independent work.  It may not be as fun, but Pearson SuccessNet will assign math work that is just perfect for your level. 

Rule Reminders: 
No runing in the hallways.  Never throw any objects, like rocks or sand, at school.  Always go out of your way to be generous and kind.

Lunch and Attendance:
Before I tell you what's for lunch today, I want you to know about a special lunch offer for tomorrow- you can get both the HOT DOG and the SALAD BAR tomorrow- you won't have to chose.  That's tomorow, but for today you have two choices, the Farm Fresh Salad Bar, or the hot lunch. Today the hot lunch is:

Bean & Cheese Burrito, Salsa
Steamed Green Beans
Fresh Fruit
If you would like to have a hot lunch, please raise your hand. Teachers, please take a count and make a note on your online attendance form.

Pledge:
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance!
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

High Expectations:
There's no choice, achieving your personal best is required every day at Emerson!
