Pumpkin Project is NEXT FRIDAY!!! If your child needs a pumpkin, please let me know so that I may get one for him/her.

According to our timeline, students should be sketching their idea for their pumpkin, gathering supplies from home if they want something outside of the normal craft supplies. I will have yarn, foam, construction paper, pipe cleaners, felt, & wiggly eyes.

Beginning Monday, your child can bring their pumpkin to school.

I have 3 volunteers and 2 maybes for helping on Friday. Thank you so much!!

Formative Retake if your child needs to retake their comparing and ordering formative, this will take place next week. Pezzola's class will use their Successmaker time on Monday & Tuesday, Scott's Class will use Computer Lab on Monday and any make ups on Wednesday & Thursday at Successmaker. Thank you to everyone who encouraged their child to practice and retake the test.

Don't forget to call the office and sign up for a time for Parent Teacher Conferences! Conferences are Wednesday, October 26 from 10:20 - 6:00 p.m. and Thursday, October 27 from 12:20 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. I look forward to talking to you about your child's progress. I welcome the students to come to conferences as well. I like for them to hear all the good things I have to say about them and let them be part of the problem solving process if we have issues we need to remedy. I won't be sharing anything with you that I wouldn't share with the kids.
