Dear Parents,

Many thanks to all the parents who helped with Fall Festival. This is one of the most important days of our year, and we truly appreciate your help. All went well, and we will have a good sum to go toward improving our technology.

Conferences are coming up, and I will send out a schedule for you to sign up for tomorrow. Sign up right away to get the time that you want.

We continue in reading with another story from our Nature stories unit. We will be going to Morgan’s nature trail this week, weather permitting. Also, we continue in math with working with higher numbers, and in science studying about the weather and seasons.

October 29 is an early release day, and the students do not have school on the 30th. For this reason, we will have a Halloween “snack” on the 29th and will save our parties for Christmas, Valentines, and the end of the year. We are allowed three parties. You may send in treat bags and candy to share on the 29th. We have 19 children in the class. 

Look for the sign-up for conferences and have a good week! — Mrs. Hallquist
