A few Reminders...

- Bannock for sale Friday, October 27th for $2

- Candy Grams for sale for friends - 50 cents each or 3 for a $1.  For sale tomorrow and Monday, handed out on Halloween.
- Photo retakes on October 30th - no forms or payment needed

Halloween festivities on October 31st 

- Students may come in costume but no weapons, gore, or masks.  We will still be active this day with outside play, dance, drama and a dodge ball game at lunch.  Please wear costumes at own risk.

- We will have a party in the afternoon with treats.  I will be providing oranges and popcorn.  If students wish to bring a treat/snack to share that would be great.

Book Fair

October 30th- Nov. 2 - lunch and after school in the library

 

Parent/Teacher Interviews

Just a reminder that P/T interviews are this week for those who signed up.  If you are still wanting to meet with me I have a few times open.  The sign up sheet is outside the classroom.

Wednesday and Thursday from 3:00pm - 4:15pm.

Thank you.

FSA's

Foundation Skills Assessment

I hope all of you received your letter informing you of the FSA's that are now in progress.  We had a couple of practice runs on the chrome books and now tomorrow we will be starting our booklets with a collaboration activity and reading comprehension.  This is an important time for students to get rest, drink lots of water, and feel focused and alert.  I am including as much movement and fun activities throughout the day so they are not sitting too long.  We will continue with our arts rotations, spelling, math, science and some Halloween activities.
