Happy Monday, everyone:

We have several things to be aware of this week.
1. The school fundraiser is over at the end of this week. If your child is trying to earn a prize, encourage them to get those last orders, and turn them in by Thursday.
2. Period 6 students will be creating blogs this week. Read your child's comments about the books he or she is reading, and discuss them with your child
3. Planners will be handed out to students on Monday. The Chickasaw teachers have decided to communicate with parents through the planners, so please check your child's planner daily for any comments.

Habit of the Week: Do you homework at the same time each day so that you don't end up leaving it until the last minute. Regular schedules reinforce good habits of organization.

Students:
1. Sign into the Planner Website (www.premier.us/discover) to get lots of tips about how to use your planner and to be organized.
2. The prize this week goes to the student in each class who is the first to respond on this site with the answer to the following question:

What animal is the "Strange Science" fact in your planner about?

You will be able to select from the prize box. Last week's winner was Monique Tompkins, 6th period. You guys in 2/3 period, and 4/5 period need to get on the ball!
