Week of Oct. 17th

This week we will be having our parent/teacher conferences.  We are looking forward to seeing each of you to talk about our great students!  Conferences will be held on Thursday and Friday, which will both be half days for the children.  Early release time is 12:20.  Please make sure to talk to your child about how they'll be getting home and if they will be eating lunch at school or not.  See you soon!

Here are some upcoming October events:

Oct. 16th-21st   Book Fair Week
Oct. 21st           Flagpole meeting at 9:00 a.m.
Oct. 23rd-28th  Red Ribbon Week
Oct. 28th           Early Release, staff development

This week we will begin our insect unit.  The Core Knowledge big idea is that insects, like other animals, have specific identifying features.  Some insects are considered either feneficial or detrimental from a human perspective.  We will begin our math topic on graphs and probability. 

We hope you all have a great week!
