 Lots of graded papers have gone home over the past several weeks.  Please check PowerSchool for your child's grades or better yet, have them emailed to you once a week.  Sign up on PowerSchool through Brownsburg's home page!

 Make sure your child knows their multiplication facts...

* Brown Elementary will be “Spreading the Love” in September. What does that mean? National Hunger Action Month is held every September in an attempt to raise awareness of the hunger problem in communities. Food banks across the country sponsor activities and events to educate, engage and mobilize the public in the fight against hunger. Brown Elementary has been invited to participate in a campaign sponsored by Gleaners Food Bank and the new Shine.FM where we are going to “Spread the Love” by collecting jars of peanut butter throughout the month of September.

We will be keeping track of how many jars of peanut butter each classroom brings in and the winning classroom at Brown receives a pizza party in October, sponsored by Shine.FM. The collection boxes will be located right outside the door of each classroom. Through various schools participating, their goal is to collect 50,000 jars of peanut butter. Let’s help them reach their goal and provide needed food for many families.

Parent Information Night

Parents,

Our information night will be tomorrow at 6:30.  I'll review our day, discuss subject areas/tests/quizzes/assignment notebook, and review expectations.  Come with any questions you have.  I'll try to keep my portion to 30 minutes that way there will be time for questions that may not have gotten answered. 

Thanks!

Fourth Graders

Welcome to all of our new fourth graders.  Several students wanted their own rulers, scissors, compasses (for math not science N,S,E,W), protractors, and calculators.  We have these supplies at Brown, but several students wanted their own so we wrote those supplies in our assignment notebooks today. 

Everyone is keeping high expectations, and our students are meeting those.  We have several grades in PowerSchool - please check your child's grades.  We are reading Oliver's Travels, working on geometry in math, and are creating a writing rubric in class.  The days are flying by.
