Week of November 2, 2021

Please Note

- I hope you had a great Halloween! We had a fun time celebrating on Friday and the costumes were great! We have a short and busy week with our field trip and conferences.  Since it is short week there will be no homework! Here are your reminders for the week:

- Tomorrow is our field trip to Highland Orchards! The kids can wear their gym uniforms to school and I would make sure they have a coat or vest because it will be a brisk day and we will be outside all morning.  We will return and eat a late lunch at school so you can send their regular lunchbox instead of a disposable bag.   It should be a great trip!

- As the weather gets chillier please remember to send your child in with a coat, hat, gloves etc.  Don't forget to label everything, too.  Please note that sweatpants are required with the gym uniform now.  Thanks for you help with this!

- We will finish up the story "Dr. Seuss" but there will be no reading or spelling test this week.

- There will be a math test on subtraction on Thursday. We will review in school today and tomorrow afternoon when we get back from our trip.

- No school on Friday due to Parent/Teacher Conferences. I look forward to meeting with you all! If you have signed up for a virtual conference I will send home a conference rubric in your child's home folder and a zoom link on Thursday. 

- Have a great week!
