Weekend Update!

Just a few quick reminders:

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip is on Tuesday, RAIN OR SHINE! PLEASE send kids with EMPTY backpacks (so they can carry their pumpkins) and make sure they are wearing play clothes in layers, in case they get too cold/too warm. Also, please make sure they eat good breakfasts, because lunch will be later than usual. (Nothing is worse than having them come to class in the morning saying that they are hungry, when I know lunch is 3-4 hours away!!)

The November HW calendar is in the process of being put up on the Homework page of my blog. Sorry about last month...it has been hectic.

If you have NOT scheduled a progress conference, please contact me so we can set one up. PALs testing is winding down and I can give you those results now, as well. If you've already had your conference, I'll send home the PALs results for you to check out.

BIG NEWS: Our kindergartners will be performing at the PTA meeting during the last week of November. Just wanted to give you a heads-up, since this will be right after the Thanksgiving break.

As usual, if you have questions or concerns, please email me! Happy weekend!!

Long-Awaited Homework for October

I really need to apologize for not putting this up until almost the end of the month. It's been hectic, but I plan to do better. Several years ago, I created a program for upper-grade children that's called Achievers R Leaders (ARL). This year, I have placed 130 students in "jobs" throughout the school. Long story - it's a LOT of work and takes up a lot of free time in October, while I set everything up...(if you're really interested in learning more about ARL, look for the blurb in the upcoming PTA newsletter!)

Anyway, I'll post the HW here and then add it to the correct web page later:

Monday 24th - What is your favorite nursery rhyme? Draw a picture and write its title.

Tuesday 25th - Draw a red circle and a purple triangle.

Wednesday 26th - Draw a green rectangle and an orange square.

Thursday 27th - Use a calendar to count the days until our Pumpkin Patch field trip. Write the number.

Friday 28th - Make sure your Home Reading Calendar is ready to give to your teacher on Tuesday.

Reminder: Pumpkin Patch field trip is Tuesday, November 1.

Hope you're having a nice weekend so far!

Some Evening Conference Spots Still Open

Evening conferences are by appointment only, but if you don't get a spot, I will contact you to set up a conference either before or after school.

I still have the following times available for this Thursday, October 13:

4:45 till 5:00 PM
5:00 till 5:15 PM
5:45 till 6:00 PM

If you've already scheduled, I look forward to seeing you!
I will do my best to stay on schedule...I'm booked every 15 minutes, which works great as long as everyone is on time, LOL!

I hope to post this week's homework assignments later or tomorrow...
