Hello,

I just want to let you know that picture retake day is tomorrow. Also, there is no spelling test due to the short week but they do have math homework today. It’s clocks and telling time.  They have been working very hard to understand how to read and write the hands on a clock for time to the half hour. There will be a quiz tomorrow on it.

Enjoy the extra time with your kids this week:)   They grow up fast!!!

Stay warm and Happy Thanksgiving

Hello Parents,

We have started a unit in social studies on families. I have sent home a sheet of paper for you to fill in. We will be making family trees and need that information. Please return by tomorrow or Thursday.

Some students are having trouble zipping coats and tying shoes, have them practice at home.

If you have not turned in your conference form, please do so tomorrow.

Thank you and have a great rest of the day!

Thank you chaperones for your help today. The kids had fun. Here is a quote from one of our students as we were walking back to class, “I don’t like school it’s boring, I want to go back to the science center!”  The students are putting on small plays tomorrow, come join us if you can. 11:15 am in our room.

Tomorrow is a half day- dismissal is 11:45am

Thursday November 9th is our first round of conferences. I’ll be sending home reminders tomorrow with your time (for the 9th). Some of you did not sign up at Open House so I found a slot for you. Please return the bottom portion of the reminder and check the appropriate box. If you check Sorry….need another day/time… I will call you so we can find a different slot.

For the week of November 13th conferences, your forms will be sent home later next week.

Here is a copy of the parent chaperone letter I will be sending home tomorrow.

Good Morning,

I mentioned we would be doing plays today and we are. We are going to do them for the 3rd graders down the hall from us. However, we will do them again on Friday the 3rd (it’s a half day) at 11:15 am for any parents that would like to come and watch. This is their first one so the goal was to have them follow along while others read their part so that they would know when to read their character’s part. We also worked on reading their lines with expression. Some students had more than one part in their play which made it more challenging. If you get a chance ask them how they did today for their audience 🙂

Don’t forget-Halloween party at Snow from 6:00pm-7:30pm hosted by the PTA

Tomorrow is our classroom party 1:45-2:45 pm.

Teacher Pumpkin Raffle Tickets are being sold in our classroom for 25 cents each.

Unit 2 Math test will be given next Wednesday. A study guide will be sent home for homework on Monday.

Also students have been practicing plays this week, that’s why new books haven’t been coming home. We will present them on October 31st. You can come watch if you’d like. I’ll let you know a time when I look at my schedule for next week.

We will be shopping as a class at the Book Fair on Tuesday.  An order form was sent home. You can fill it out ahead of time and send in money, it will make it easier for the students to choose.

Tickets for the pumpkins will start being sold on Tuesday. The cost is 25 cents per ticket.

Good Evening,

Students will be coming home with a job Application on Monday or Tuesday of this week.

It is due on Thursday the 19th.

Picture Day is Tuesday the 17th 🙂

Skate Night is October Wednesday, October 18th

If you have not returned your field trip form please do so. They were due last Friday. If you need another please write me a note on their behavior log. Also, If you signed up to chaperone but did not send in 10$ for yourself please do so as soon as you can.

This week we will be wrapping up our first social studies unit as well as sound in science. There will be a social studies test this week. We will review in class.
