Students will be watching a Halloween movie, enjoy our treats. Students are allowed to wear costumes to school. Please make sure there are no weapons, masks, or excessive face paint. Students will not be able to change into their costumes at school, so it is important for all students in our class to get dressed in the morning and wear their costumes to school. I will post a class photo of the students in the costumes at the end of the day.

Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for November 9th, 15th, and 16th. Please make sure to arrive on time on the correct day. If you arrive late, you will have to wait until there is an opening in my schedule. Parents will receive their child’s report card and NWEA scores at conferences.
Reminder that Weekly Reading Logs are due EVERY MONDAY! Students who do not return their logs will be walking the track during outside recess.
Students should be reading and writing every day according to their list of assignments in the Reading Bags. Many students are not keeping up, and this will effect their grades. Students should read the assigned pages/chapter each day and choose a written response to write in their response notebooks.Please check your child’s Reading Bag and response notebook to make sure they are completing their work and following directions.
Parents should be checking their child’s Student Planner on a daily basis and signed the planner every day. Many families are doing a great job, while others have not had a parent signature in weeks. This is an important tool for communication and is a responsibility of every child in class.
