Week 8



This week’s due dates for the Book Bazaar is October 11, main characters’ pictures and descriptions; and October 13, settings’ pictures and descriptions. Please refer to the rubric for requirement details. Students only need to bring the assignment that is being checked off that day, to school. The assignment can be brought in the folder, then kept at home, so it won’t be damaged or lost in transit.

The IXL assignment for the week is P.1. We will also be working on telling time. Please help your child practice telling time on an analog clock. If your child can already do this, please help him/her practice calculating elapsed time. We don’t want you to spend extra time on this. Just practice in natural situations. For example, “How much longer until bed time?”, or “You can play your video game for a half hour. If you start at 4:37, what time will you finish?”

Parent-teacher conferences will be held this Wednesday and Thursday. We look forward to meeting with you.

Our Field trip to see the play Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory will be this upcoming Monday, October 17th.  We will be leaving in the morning and will be back to school before lunch. 

Fall Break is coming up soon. Our last day of school will be on October 19. Students will return on October 25.

The weather is changing. We follow the district policy for inside days.

Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather.
