Dear Families,

Hello November! As we begin this week there are a few important things to remember. Here is what you need to know for this week. Have a wonderful week and I’ll update you if there are any changes or additions to our plans and schedules.

Important Dates and Information:

*No School Tuesday November 6th: Mid Term Election day

*Thursday, November 8th Conference Day #1: Please check your child’s permission slip reminder sent home on Friday (or Monday if your child was sick on Friday Morning last week) or behavior calendar for your child’s conference date and time. I look forward to discussing your darlings progress with you on your scheduled date! Please remember to be prompt because conferences are back to back 🙂

*Homework: The homework packet from last week is due on Monday the 5th. A new packet of lessons 23-27 will be coming home tonight along with a new math game! This week in math we will be working on regular lessons to finish module 1.

*This week in social studies we will begin a new unit on “needs and wants”. Please help us gather materials for sorting and writing activities by printing or cutting pictures of needs and wants from magazines, computers, newspapers etc. and sending them in in zip lock baggies or envelopes. We thank you in for helping us make these lessons clear, hands on and realistic!

*Popcorn: This Friday popcorn sales will be back on, so bring your quarters!

*Library check out: Your child will visit the library again on Tuesday morning. Please make sure that your child’s book is in their backpack Monday night ready to be returned this next morning. Any lost or damaged books front he DuVall library will need to be replace by the individual child’s family. Thank you for helping your child become a responsible penguin!

*Reading Packs: Thank you for sending them back every day and spending about 10-15 minutes a night on the letters/words you find in there. This will help your child SO much reviewing their personal bags each night! Those students who had books sent home last week, make sure they are in there this week because they will be switched for one to two more this week! Woohoo these students rock!
