Happy Halloween!

The Internet was down last Friday, so I was not able to send out a parent letter.
We had a lot of fun with our bug Halloween theme at school today. Ask your child to share some of the bug facts they learned today. We did word a day in class this morning. I did pass out this weeks spelling sort - due on Friday. There is a science project due on Wednesday.
Friday is the end of the marking period. We will be scheduling conferences soon. If you have a preference to Monday or Wednesday, November 14th or 16th, let me know.

Have a safe night!
