Tomorrow morning the students
will be taking their last MAP test. Please make sure you send in a hearty and
healthy snack for your child tomorrow.
Next Monday October 21st
there will be NO SCHOOL.
Friday October 25Th we
will be having our first quarter Student
Led-Conferences there is no school on this day. I will be sending home
different time options for your conference with your child. Please return your
chosen time as soon as possible. I will try to accommodate your first choice as
best as I can. You will be allotted a time during which you and your child
can come to class together. During this time, your child will show you around
the classroom and explain what he/she has been learning. It is also the time
you will receive your child's report card and when the teacher will discuss
with you any concerns that she might have regarding your child's learning.
'Book Character Day' is not too
far away. We would like to remind you that your child will be encouraged to

Living' that shows how to make homemade costumes under the 'Links' heading for
