Red Ribbon Week/Dr. Roberts's Birthday Bash

We had fun this week by celebrating Red Ribbon Week and ending it with a birthday bash for Dr. Roberts. I wish I had taken more pictures of these little cuties, though! We booted out drugs on Monday by wearing boots, shaded out drugs on Tuesday with our cool sunglasses, teamed up against drugs on Wednesday by wearing our favorite team shirts, put a cap on drugs on Thursday with hats, and wore red to fight against drug abuse on Friday.

I thought a sports door would be perfect for our team. Thanks, Mrs. Dunkum, for your help!!!

My team has BEGGED me to wear my Hog hat all year, so I thought Hat Day was fitting for that!

The kids had fun performing "Thriller" for Dr. Roberts along with a special birthday song for him.





Fall weather fun this week

Don't forget that the Fall Carnival is this Thursday! The best part about it is that it's FREE!!! We'll have lots of fun and games all throughout the building, so please plan on coming.

Also, fundraiser orders are due this Wednesday, October 13th! Please make sure that your child gets credit for the items they sold so they can have a chance to go to the Mega Party. I know they won't want to miss it.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to email or call me.

What a GRAND day!

We had such a fun morning with Grandparents Day!



We enjoyed some delicious muffins and hanging out in the Dining Room.



I loved getting to meet all of the grandparents!

It was so fun to see all of the love!

Then we headed to our Flex Space to take pictures and show off the "stadium".

Thank you to everyone that came.

Books, grandparents, oh my!

Don't forget that the Book Fair and Grandparent's Day is this week!

The Book Fair is in the Pre-K wing and is filled with tons of FABULOUS new books (Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, Ramona and Beezus, and many more)!

Also, third grade will be hosting Grandparent's Day on Thursday from 9-10:45. Please make plans to send your child's grandparent or "special someone" to join us that day!

1st Day of School

I know this is old news already, but I have to get caught up. The first day of school was August 19th...and boy, what an exciting day! I love traditions and I love that we got to be the first to experience the first day here at Don Roberts Elementary! Not many people get to say that about their school. We had a great time getting to know each other and playing some fun icebreaker games as a team. This was especially helpful since we were all new to a brand new school!

Our team works really well with each other. They are helpful and listen to each others thoughts.

Meet Representative Carter

The team chose Carter to be their Class Representative. He did a great job saying his speech in front of the entire 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classes! His slogan was: "Be smarter, vote Carter! I'll work harder for our school." Don't you love it? I think Team Dees will have great representation at our Student Council meetings.

Welcome to Team Dees!

I am so excited to welcome you all to Team Dees' blog! I personally love to write and have 2 other blogs that I "bore" my family with, so I'm excited to keep you all updated with what's happening in your child's life at school.

Even though it's just been a few weeks, I already L-O-V-E my team (class) and am so happy about working at Roberts Elementary! Please check here often to see what's going on in the world of Team Dees.
