Dear Families,
It was great to meet with so many of you this week for conferences. I'm glad we got to show off a lot of our projects and hard work to you also. We had a lot of change to our school schedule this week with the two half days and an all-school meeting. We also spent an afternoon with 4 amazing volunteers (thanks!) making listening tools. Everyone was excited and did a great job taking turns to make tools with their choice of fillings: beans, lentils, or rice. Thanks to the many families who sent in materials or came in to help us with the project. We couldn't have done it without you!
We continue to read Charlotte's Web any chance we get. Our trip to the Flynn to see this book as a play is coming up the Wednesday after Thanksgiving. Permission slips for this trip will be coming home next week. Please check for them and send them in promptly!
I was also impressed by home many students came to school prepared for a snowy recess today! The kids who had all their gear had the most fun! Please spend some time this weekend digging out the rest of the snow/winter gear. Please send students with gloves/mittens, hats, warm jackets, snowpants, and boots each day. Please also send indoor shoes. Our floor, carpet, and rug were wet and muddy after recess! Indoor shoes can go back/forth each day or a pair of indoor shoes can live in our classroom for the winter.
Speaking of shoes, we've all be learning or teaching others how to tie shoes this week. Many new tiers have made progress in learning this important skill. If your child is still working on tying shoes, please help them practice at home too!
Important Dates:
November 26-28: Thanksgiving Break (NO SCHOOL)
December 3: Charlotte's Web at the Flynn Theater
