October 23rd News and Notes

The End of October... Already!
October is coming to a close already!  If your student plans to participate in Book It! this month, please have completed forms sent to school by Thursday, October 31st.  A form for November will come home in next week's communication folder. 

Looking forward to our meeting next week!
Conference meeting days and times were sent home in the communication folder last Friday.  Please let me know if you did not receive it.  I'm looking forward to discussing your child's progress so far this year with you sometime next week!  Please remember also that there is NO SCHOOL NEXT FRIDAY due to Parent/Teacher Conferences.  Please consider filling out the Parent Questionnaire  and bringing it to our conference next week.  I find that it helps direct our conversation and allows us to remember topics that we wanted to talk about together! 

Changes To Schedule Next Week
 Due to no school on Friday, and trying to avoid homework on Halloween, weekly Reading assignments will come home on Monday and Tuesday evenings.  Memory will be said on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.  Our Spelling tests will be on Thursday, so please plan ahead so the bulk of the studying will not be on Halloween night!  Thanks!
