Week of October 17th

Conference week is next week! We will have an early release schedule all week. Lunch will be from 11:25-11:45 Please remember your conference time and knock on the door when it is your turn. Twenty minutes goes by quickly so in order to stay on schedule, you can knock and open the door at the time of your conference. If for some reason you need to reschedule at the last minute, let me know so I can adjust my schedule accordingly. I will share your child's report card with you, as well as talk about strengths and weaknesses. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have questions. I am looking forward to meeting with all of you!

*On Friday we had a chance to stop by the Media Center to preview the Fall Book Fair. Your child made a list of books he or she thought looked interesting. These lists were sent home in their orange folders. Come check out the book fair next week while you're here for conferences! Your child may also bring money to school and will be able to visit the book fair in the morning before announcements. (There are lots of posters and knick-knacks by the register, so make sure your child knows what he/she should spend the money on!)

*Square 1 Art order forms came home this week. Orders are due Thursday, November 3rd!
