November Book It! Forms in Communication Folder
A form for November will be coming home in Friday's communication folder.  If your child plans to participate, please send completed form back to school by Monday, December 1st. 

Eight Keys Book in Friday Bookbag
Several businesses in the Hannibal area have donated funds to print the Eight Keys Character Trait book that is to be distributed to all second graders in the city.  This book will be coming home in both first and second grade book bags on Friday, along with an envelope of blank postcards that can be used to thank those responsible for supporting its printing.  Please consider working with your child on filling out and distributing these postcards!

Don't Forget...
Daylight Savings Time begins on 11/2...don't forget to fall back!

Looking forward to our meeting next week!
Conference meeting days and times were sent home in the communication folder earlier this week.  They are also available on the blog post before this one.  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.  

Changes To Schedule Next Week
Due to no school on Friday,  weekly Reading assignments will come home on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Memory will be said on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Our Spelling tests will be on Thursday, so please plan ahead.  Thanks!
