Parent conferences begin tomorrow. If you are scheduled, your child will be bringing home a reminder note with the time. If you are not scheduled for tomorrow, you will not receive your note until the day of your conference. Please ask your child for the note. It should be in their “Homework” folder.
I am looking forward to discussing your child’s progress with you!

The November Book Order was sent home today. If you would like your child to order books (what a great way to get them excited about reading), then please return the order and the money by Friday, November 13.
Enjoy your afternoon off my awesome aviators:)
Just wanted to remind everyone that there is a 1/2 day tomorrow. School will be dismissed at 11:10. Enjoy your afternoon with your kiddies, and I hope the weather is beautiful tomorrow like it is today!
Just wanted to remind everyone that picture day is tomorrow Monday, November 2. Even if you are not purchasing pictures, your child’s picture will still be taken for the yearbook. So…..bring those beautiful smiles tomorrow and smile pretty for the camera!
Looking forward to seeing all my wonderful students in the morning!
A great big thanks goes out to Mariam A., Youssef, Hussein, Fadi, Mahdi, and Ali for sharing your mom with us today! They were so helpful and I appreciate it:) I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and if you are going out Trick-or-Treating, please remember to be safe! See you Monday!
Our routines are finally established in our classroom and we are now ready to have volunteers come into our classroom! So…….if anyone would like to volunteer in our classroom during Daily 5 or Math Workshop, I would love to have you come in and work with the students. There are many different options and whatever fits your schedule would be great. Some of the options are listed below:
*We do math every day, but we only do Math Workshop 3 times a week and that is where I would need your help if you would like to volunteer your time. Math Workshop is usually on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:45-10:45. You could come in every week on the same day and same time or you could come in when you have some free time. If you decide to come in when you are available, just send me a note the day before so that I have time to prepare something for you to work on with the students. If you would like to come in every week on a specific day, please let me know what day would work best for you and I will send a note back confirming your day and time.
*Another option would be that you could come in during Daily 5 Workshop (Reading Time). We do Daily 5 every day. On Monday and Wednesdays we do Daily 5 from 12:00-1:00 and Tuesday and Thursday from 11:25-12:25. You could come in every week on the same day and same time or you could come in when you have some free time. If you decide to come in when you are available, just send me a note the day before so that I have time to prepare something for you to work on with the students. If you would like to come in every week on a specific day, please let me know what day would work best for you and I will send a note back confirming your day and time.
*Also, if you can’t volunteer in the classroom, I completely understand. I am a working mom and I am unable to volunteer in my child’s classroom because I am with your wonderful children at that time. However, this doesn’t mean that I can’t help out. Whenever the teacher needs something cut out, stapled, etc. I volunteer by doing things like that at home. If you are interested in something like that, please send me a note and when I have something like that I will contact you. I promise I will not send a lot of things home for you to do because I know you are very busy, too.
If you decide that you would like to volunteer, please understand that you would be unable to bring any other children with you. I’m sorry about that but it would be a distraction for the students and every bit of learning time is crucial. Thanks for understanding. I’m looking forward to having you in the classroom if you are available.
