From Ms. Burchard
October 12th
The children had a good time working on their projects. They all turned out so well and the children seemed to show a lot of pride in them. They will have the opportunity to present them this afternoon.
Our Boosterthon pep rally was a lot of fun and got the children very excited about getting prepared for the fun run next Friday, October 18th. We will be running in the morning. If you have not signed your child onto funrun.com, you can do that this weekend.
We are sending home week 2’s spelling words. They are on, to, we, got, look, my, at, said, and, has. I am sending home another copy of the tips sheet to help with the review of the words. The spelling test will be next Friday in the afternoon.
I will be sending you a link so you can sign up for a student led conference time. There will be 3 families per time. You will bring your child with you and discuss papers they have done, set up goals with your child for the year and I will be circulating among the three families to answer any questions or concerns.
