Hello Families! Where is the time going?! I can’t believe we are approaching Halloween in this next week! We have had some wonderful learning going on and I want to share a few tidbits with you!

Halloween Party!

First, our Halloween party will be held this Thursday, Oct. 29th from 2-3 pm. Parents have been contacted about what to bring. Costumes can be brought to school and will be put on right before the party. Please make sure that nothing resembling a weapon of any sort comes to school. Costumes should not be overly scary. We want to enjoy the fun of dressing up and admiring the characters we transform ourselves into!

Conferences

Conferences will be taking place November 2-4. Slips have been sent home concerning your time and date of conference. If you have any conflicts, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you. I look forward to having the time to talk with you about each one of these special children!

Bloggers!

Notes came home this week about setting up individual blogs for each of your children. They are passionate about having a place to share their learning and I can’t wait to get them started! Please know that edublogs creates a very safe place for your student to blog, and it will all go through me. Nothing can be posted without my consent first (including ALL comments). If you have questions, or would like to see a sample, I would be happy to show you at conference time.

Kind and Caring 4th Graders

I just want to take a minute and share with you how kind and caring our 4th graders were today as they helped their bus buddies make a construction paper pumpkin craft. Mrs. Wert’s pre-k class came down today and our class helped them create some art. I saw such kindness and caring in all of the fourth graders! Wow! What a great bunch of kids . . .

I just love fabulous fourth graders . . . .

Welcome to Our New Zealand Quad-Bloggers!

Guess what gang!! We are now quad-blogging with a class from Taranaki, New Zealand! Isn’t that awesome!?! Who can tell me what hemisphere they are in? Surrounded by what ocean? Mrs. Ericsson, their teacher, said that their class just began their new year two weeks ago! Isn’t that interesting? It will be awesome to learn about students who live 8,503 miles away from us in a different hemisphere!

We have so much to learn from all our new friends in Ohio, Arizona and New Zealand!
