Happy Halloween!

I apologize for the length of time between posts.  Things have been very busy lately and the blog is one thing that has been placed on the back burner.  No longer!  I will have a TIMES LINE update posted within a few days, as well as posts of students in their costumes from tomorrow night.  If you want your child to be included in that photo spread, please email me a photo and I'll get those up ASAP.

I was out of school yesterday for the first time.  The guest teacher had nothing but nice things to say about the class.  I am very proud of how well they represented themselves.  I know how capable they are, and now others are seeing it, too!  I hope to use the next few days to catch up on the grading from yesterday and will open up Gradespeed for this new nine weeks by Saturday. 

Thank you to 1 and 6's moms for donating extra water for us for the Fun Run on Friday, and also to 3's mom for letting us borrow a cooler.  Remember that pizza will be provided for lunch Friday, but students will need to bring in a drink and any other snacks.  If you would like to send in any other items for a Fall celebration, Friday is the time for that as well!

Look for notes to come home confirming conference times.  Hopefully you already received an e-mail.  Have a wonderful evening and be sure to check back in here very soon for updates!

Help Requested

Parents,

As I stated in my email, I need your help.  I would like to do a quick integrated unit using pumpkins following Fall Break.  If any of you are willing and able to donate a pumpkin, I would greatly appreciate it. We could use at least five. Any size will do.  We could also use any old newspapers to help keep things relatively clean.

If you will be able to send in a pumpkin or some newspaper following break, please leave a note in the comments sections of this post.  Thank you so much for your help.

Have a wonderful break.  I can't wait to hear about all that you do next week!  Take care, travel safely, and I'll see you on the 15th.
