We have completed our first writing unit about Narrative Writing.  Our published stories are displayed in the hallway for everyone to read.  We will begin our next unit this week on Informational Writing.

Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for November 12th, 18th, and 19th.  Please make sure you have scheduled a time to meet and discuss your child’s progress so far this year.

On Friday, October 3oth we will have a small Halloween party.  Students may dress up in costumes for school that day.  Due to the limited space in bathrooms, students must wear their costume to school and will not be able to change during the day.  No weapons, masks, or face paint are allowed.  There is a sign up sheet in the hallway outside our classroom for families that would like to donate treats for our party.  Please only bring in what you sign up for, otherwise we have multiples of items and too much food left over.  Remember that we are a “Peanut Free Classroom” so no peanuts please:)
