Thank You All!!!

I now have plenty of bags for Valentines and quite a few stickers to decorate them.  I will make sure the kids have time Tuesday to get their bags ready for Wednesday.  If you would like to send in the Valentine's early you are welcome to do so.  I will have a place in the classroom to hold on to them.

I appreciate all the donations.  

Sincerely,
anne simmons

Brassfield Families!

We are excited to see you at Literacy Night TONIGHT in the Learning Commons from 5:30-6:30. 

If you would like assistance in finding a good fit book for your child, have ever wondered what type of mclass questions your child is responsible for answering, or have questions about technology applications that we use here at Brassfield....then this night is for you!

Don't forget to have every child in the family (regardless of age) bring a used book for "Leave a Book, Take a Book"!



Hola padres! 

The students in 3rd  & 5th grade have been learning how to order at a restaurant in Spanish class this quarter. It is time to put their skills to the test! You are invited to our Brassfield Spanish Night at El Tapatio of Falls of Neuse Road on Thursday, March 1st anytime between 5:30-8:00pm to dine with your family, and have your 3rd/5th grader order in Spanish! They are encouraged to share their vocabulary with you at home so the whole family can enjoy using Spanish at the restaurant! See this link to practice at home: https://quizlet.com/_3afu1wWe look forward to seeing you there! 

***Families will be responsible for paying for their own meals. 

I am so proud of the kids for their hard work this quarter, and I thought this would be a fun way to get them out in the community to use their new vocabulary, and to share this experience with you! Please let us know if you THINK your family might be able to dine at El Tapatio on March 1st so that we can give the restaurant a general number of what to expect. 




Gracias!

Calling all 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students that enjoy running and would like to prepare for a race (1 mile, 2 mile, or 5k). You should join the Brassfield running club!   During our weekly runs, we will work on building endurance and speed while fostering a love of running.  The club will begin on Wednesday, March 14th, and will meet weekly on Wednesdays from 3:45-4:45.  Our last running club will be Wednesday, May 23rd. Students are welcomed to attend running club over their track out if someone is available to drop them off at the track, sign in with a coach, and pick them up at the carpool loop after practice as usual. The runners must be picked up promptly at 4:45 in the carpool parking loop.  We expect that all students participating in our running club with exhibit PAWS behavior. Runners will receive one warning for poor behavior choices. After the one warning, runners who are continuing to make poor behavior choices will be asked to leave the club.  If you have questions, feel free to contact Libby Lipetzky (elipetzky@wcpss.net).  Happy Running!
