October  13-17

It was nice to have a 3 day weekend.  The teachers had a writing inservice on Friday. It was very informational and about writing. I can't wait to use some of the strategies in class.

Friday we will be going to Emeritus and Hampshire.  If you have signed up to drive I have stapled a note in your child's planner.  If you are unable to drive please let me know. 

REPORT CARDS will also be sent home on Friday.  Please sign and return Monday.  Please note we will be having conferences next week so this is a good time for any discussion.
