This week: 10/22 - 26

This week we will work on:





On Monday, October 22 the students will start Rollerskating in Gym.  Please help your child remember to bring a helmet to school for Gym class.  2-1 will have gym on Tuesday. Thanks!


If you haven't signed up for a conference yet, please do!

If you have some great ideas for our Halloween Party and want to help let me know! The students will bring their costumes and change into them after lunch.  Our party will start after everyone is dressed.  Then we will join the school parade and finish our party.

During our Morning Meeting each student will have a time where they can share.  We will start with a greeting and then students will have two minutes to tell a story, show or talk about something they would like to bring to share with the class.  They will ask for three questions or comments.  If they are bringing in an item to share, it must fit in their backpack.
