Morning Announcements- February 1, 2011

Good Morning Emerson Eagles!
Dream, Believe, Achieve!
Today is Tuesday, February 1, 2011

What are you writing about?  Writing is the best way to express yourself.  You can craft exciting stories, explain inportant information, write letters to a friend and so much more with writing.  If you have something that you've written that you would like to share with me, would you send it up to the office.

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!

Engagement Requirements:
Did you know that teachers often set up Structured Academic Talk for you?  They may use a more sophisticated sentence frame that is used in every day conversation and  they may require vocabulary that is specific to the discipline  that you are studying.  All students must participate in structured academic talk.

Lunch and Attendance:
For lunch, you have two choices, the Farm Fresh Salad Bar, or the hot lunch. Today the hot lunch is:
Hamburger on a bun, pickles
Steamed garden peas
Diced pears
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!
