Looking Ahead…
- Parent Teacher Conferences: Conferences will be this week. Please check the schedule for your time. If you did not sign up for a time, I scheduled you a time to meet with me. Please be on time to your conference, as I will be sticking to the fifteen minute timeframe.
- Scholastic Book Fair: The book fair will be held Monday, November 6th—Friday, November 10th. The Book Fair will be held in the Q1 Gym.
- Cinderella Play at Freemont High School: The entire 5th Grade will be attending the Cinderella Play put on by Freemont High School on Thursday, November 9th. As we will be taking buses for transportation, we will not be needing any parent chaperones. The kids are excited to see the play!
- Canned Food Drive: The food drive is going on through Friday of this week. Please bring canned items only. We will be collecting the food in our classroom. The class who collects the most canned food items will win a prize from administration. If your child brings in 5+ cans of food this week, they will be able to have a Dress Down Day on FRIDAY, November 10th.
- Student Treasures: I am so happy to announce that this week we will finish our Fractured Fairytale Books!! Wahoo!! Your child has spent many hours brainstorming, writing, rewriting, typing, and illustrating their pages either with their own drawings or clipart. The books look great on the computer screen, and I cannot wait to see them in print! If you ordered a book, the books should arrive in mid December (before Christmas break).
