Hello

1. Today your child is bringing home a scholastic book club form. The more books the child orders, the more points I
earn that can be spent on our classroom library. However, I realize that with scholastic and photos in the same week,
things can be quite expensive; I understand. Please don’t feel too pressured, and if there is something your child wants, and you
or they cannot afford it, let me know and I will make sure I do order it with my points next time. The completed
form must be returned with exact rmb by Tuesday September 20th.

2. Tomorrow your child will be having their individual photo taken at 11.25 am. If you want to purchase photos, and have
not returned the form and cash, please do so tomorrow. Clean your teeth 5KP and look sharp!

3. Friday is Founder’s Day. We have hats for the students in the classroom and hope that they also come dressed in
something befitting life one hundred years ago. We hope to see you here if you can make it, our celebrations begin at 1 pm.

Plus One… Treat Day is tomorrow so your child might want to bring in 5 rmb to buy a fun snack at lunch time.

Plus Two… Mr Power has introduced the 4th and 5th grade students to the wonderful Edublog Challenge. I really love this challenge because it matches beautifully with the 3rd purpose of our SAS Homework Plan: Develop Independent Learning Habits. I would like to encourage the students to spend some time every night or two on this site building up their technology skills at the same time as gaining access to other 5th grade friendly blogs and websites. Parents, please take the time to check out this site, preferably with your child. If you do not have a VPN the site will not load for you at home, but Mr. Power will continually be adding things to his blog to help make the students accessibility easier.

Plus Three… Soccer Day is on Thursday 22nd of September. Please join us on the field between 10 am and 1 pm as we play about 6 games of soccer with other 5th graders around Shanghai. Fingers crossed for good weather and lots of fair play.
