Hello Families,
October  is almost over! I must say that your children are impressing me so much!  Their academics growth is incredible!  As I assess our class for our conferences and report cards, these bright kiddos are completely  blowing me away. 

This week, we have our Halloween  celebration on Thursday.  We will have centers and party starting at 12:40.  If you are helping, please come around 12:15 to help set up centers and food.  Thank you for the support for the party ! A big thank you to our lovely and talented room mom, Sarah for planning our party!  The children and I can hardly wait! Students may NOT wear scary costumes with blood or weapons.  Please keep those for Trick or Treating at home. Halloween parade is at 10:45 am.

Conferences are the  week  of Nov. 18-22.  We will follow our regular schedule and we will not have centers that week. 

Reading: The class has starting reading books with short vowels please practice at home. In RTI, we will be reading the story The Lion and the Mouse.  Students will focus on characters/ setting and cause and effect.
