This week September 13 - September 15

I hope everyone was able to stay safe during the wind and rain from Hurricane Irma.  We are glad to be back and school and in our normal routine!!!

This post contains important information regarding STEAM night and other events that were affected by the hurricane, as well as other upcoming events.

iMoms Breakfast
 Rescheduled for October 16th.  
(Money will be transferred to the rescheduled iMoms breakfast.)

Book Fair and Grandparent Lunches:  
The book fair has been extended through next Tuesday, September 19th.  
Grandparent lunches will be Wednesday - Friday of this week, 
and ONLY Monday of next week.

STEAM Night:
Rescheduled for Tuesday, September 19th from 6:00 - 8:00.
If you paid for a Chick-Fil-A meal and are unable to attend, please let me know and we will refund your money.

Picture Retakes:
Rescheduled for Tuesday, September 19th.
Proofs are coming home today.  If your child was absent on picture day, or they would like to have their picture taken again, please send in a handwritten note on Tuesday stating you'd like them to have another picture taken.  

Character Day:
Today RBES is recognizing National Character Day.  In both blocks we talked about empathy.  We watched a video, were given different situations and talked about how people would feel in those situations, and read a book about empathy.  Please ask your child about this today!  I think it was a very valuable activity and one that can be carried into all aspects of our lives!

NBT.3:  Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place value.
