Week 8

Week 8

 We have ALOT of things going on this month, thank you for taking the time to check-in and stay informed. Did your child show you their "bag of bones" from the owl pellets we dissected? It was SO much fun! 

Don't forget to be logging your child's reading at home, practicing Math Facts and taking AR quizzes!! Please email if you have questions regarding events, activities or assignments!

Pumpkin Madness: October 18
We'll be measuring, weighing and counting seeds as well as making pumpkin ice cream during our "Pumpkin Madness." If you'd be willing to donate a large pumpkin please drop it off in the classroom before the 18th!
Thank you!

Half-Day Friday, October 19

Students will be dismissed at 12:00 pm, Crosswalk will be available until 6:00 pm.

Fall Book Report: Due October 22

Students came home with a scoring rubric and information regarding the book report (a yellow page in their Student Planner). Take some time to choose a book that is appropriate for their reading level as well as fun and engaging, we refer to these as our "just-right" books. Students will have the opportunity to choose from multiple ways to present the information they have read to the class, I'm excited to see all the final products!

Fingerprinting

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, we are asking all parents and family members to become fingerprinted. This is a $79 cost and will allow you to drive on field trips and volunteer in the classroom and around campus. Let the office know if you are interested!
