Note about lunches to teachers and now to you!

HELLO FELLOW HARMONY LELAND FAMILY –

 It has been brought to our attention that several students are bringing carbonated drinks  (POP, SODA AND/OR COKE) and  “FAST FOOD” items for lunch.

This is a friendly reminder that that according to ACCORDING TO HARMONY LELAND’S student handbook (in the front of the agendas), and pursuant to Cobb County food and nutrition guidelines:  

FAST FOODS ARE NOT TO BE BROUGHT TO SCHOOL FOR LUNCHES AND NO CARBONATED DRINKS MAY BE BROUGHT FROM HOME.

Thanks Parents!

I just wanted to take a moment and say how awesome our kids are when it comes to reading. The kids are getting really good at just sitting and enjoying books and reading. Today we had Read to Self time, where kids could take quizes, read, go to Media Center, and finish assignments.Occasionally I hear one of them laugh at something that is funny in their stories, or "wow", or even sometimes "weird". below are some pictures that I took of the kids during reading time.

This week at HLES

We continue to work on persuasive/opinion writing. This is challenging because the standards say that the kids need an introduction, must state their opinion, provide supporting reasons and details AND have a conclusion. This is not narrative story telling, which most of our kids can do very well. Ways to help at home... Discuss things like food items at dinner, do you like chicken nuggets or grilled chicken better? Why? Green beans or corn. Which is eSier to spread: peanut butter or jelly? Why? Do you want to read, or do math homework first? Why?

I realized on my way home that I made an oops on homework. Please switch wednesday's email topic with Thursday's topic. Doing spelling homework AFTER the test, is kind of like closing the screen door after the cat sneaks out!

In math we will continue adding, subtracting, and counting money but will also begin measurement again by friday.

Parent stuff- tomorrow is HLES night at Stevie B's. The valentine dance next week, flyer goes home tomorrow. Please fill out survey in manila envelope, and send back to school. "Give Me 5" contest is going on at school. Field trip papers went home last week in orange folders please return both soon.

Thanks, G

Ps- cute phone photos of book buddies last last week.
