IMPORTANT: Saturday "Thoughtfulness"

Last minute idea: I am heading out in the morning, Saturday, July 17 to support the Bret Neylon Paralysis Foundation with Race for Recovery. Mrs. Green, a teacher at our school, has a son name Eric that recently was injured and is recovery in the hospital. Some of the proceeds of this event will benefit Eric's care. Check out www.racetorecovery.org.

The run/walk begins at 8:30 AM at Brownsburg East Middle School. I plan to arrive by 7:45 to register at Door #12, but registration begins at 6:30 and runs until 8:00. It's $25 to enter. I will be walking, not running, so if you have no other plans and want to do a "thoughtful" thing for someone in our community and with our Brown Family, please join me!


Hope to see you there!

August Celebration

We had an awesome turn out in last week at DQ to celebrate our reading and math successes this summer so far! We all decided it would be fun to meet again before school starts to "kickoff" a new year with new friends, new knowledge, and a new room!

Let's meet at Donatos in Brownsburg on Tuesday, August 10 at 12:00. They have individual pizza options with breadsticks. I will attempt to reserve the party room for that date and time. If for some reason that date does not work, I will post the new date and time here.

Hope to see you there to hear all about your amazing summer before 5th grade!

Summer Reading and Math Celebration

I would love to see everyone and hear all about your summer so far! Cory and I will be hanging out next Thursday, July 8 while Camden goes to Ms. McCammack's house for his playtime. Cory has camp at Arbuckle that morning, but we're planning to head to Dairy Queen for lunch and treats at 12:00 if anyone would like to join us!

Hope to see you on Thursday, July 8 at 12:00 at DQ to celebrate all of the accomplishments we've made so far this summer with reading and math!

Scholastic Reading Log

Don't forget to log every minute you're reading on the scholastic website for the world record! Make Brown the next world record holder!

Meet Me at the Movies

Cory and I will be attending the FREE movie at Brownsburg Pavilion Cinemas tomorrow, Wednesday, June 16. Doors open at 9:30 and Night at the Museum (1 or 2, I'm not sure) starts at 10. If you want to purchase a kid combo, it's $7.50 per combo.

Hope to see you there!

Summer Kick Off at BPL Today

Join Cory, Brennan, and me today at the Brownsburg Public Library to register for their Summer Reading Program. There are really cool prizes, treats, and friends there to celebrate reading this summer!

See you at 1 today at BPL!

YOU MUST KNOW YOUR FACTS FOR 5th GRADE!

You MUST know your math facts (all of them: adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing) by the beginning of fifth grade! We will do monthly timed tests (for a grade). Our first timed test will be within the first two weeks of school. Should individual students score below 90% for any of the timed tests, each student will spend recess time practicing the facts with Mrs. Hill. This is a fifth grade wide requirement and will ONLY benefit your other math skill development.

So, choose a day of the week and practice one type of math fact that day and the other math facts the other days! This is part of your Summer Math Challenge! YOU are in charge of your learning!
