Important Information/Reminders:

I am looking forward to parent teacher conferences on Thursday. Please remember these are only 15 min and out of respect for everyone I will have to stay on schedule. I have many conferences back to back. If you think you might need additional time let me know and I'll see if I can move you to a time slot which would allow for additional time.

Field trip and Harvest party on Wednesday. Please wear field trip shirt and standard dress bottom. A BIG THANKS to some of our dads who volunteered to prep our service project area with dirt on Tuesday evening! 

* During our harvest party we will spread grass seed, rope off the grass area around the playground, and put up signs to help remind others to stay off the area so the grass can grow. We will also sweep up the mulch around the playground and trim some of the trees. I will allow class time at the end of the day for students to water the seed and provide any upkeep until winter.

Please send in a bucket with your child on Monday 10/12. We need to prep the ground before we put the dirt down and this means we will need to pick up all the little rocks in the area. We will spend Monday (10/12) and Tuesday (10/13) getting the area ready. If you have a work bucket please send it in with your child by Oct.12th.

Reflecting on our week:

This week we discussed Natural Disasters. Usually the boys sit towards the back of the carpet but they all moved to the front for our disaster discussion! The girls didn't like that much!
