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 . . . .

Just an Update!

Halloween childrenHi Students and Families!
A few things are coming up on the radar for our 4th Graders here at Georgetown. First just an announcement about our Halloween party. The party will be held on Thursday, Oct. 30th from 2:30-3:30 pm. I want to remind all students that at Georgetown, we have a policy of not bringing any play weapons of any type that go with our costumes to school. I also want to remind 4th Graders not to choose costumes that are overly scary looking. We have younger children that we are bus buddies with and others in the building, and we do not want to make them afraid. So please keep that in mind when choosing a costume for school that day. Finally, students will just bring their costume to school, and we will dress up for the party during our last recess of the day.

Report cards for the first trimester will be coming home that following Monday, November 3. We will also begin parent/teacher conferences that week. I look forward to meeting with all of you wonderful parents about your children. We have such a great group of kids! Georgetown will also be hosting a book fair that week. It will be open during the evening when parents may stop in to shop for books as well.

Lots of fun things to look forward to! Hope everyone has a great rest of their week!

Hi Everyone!

Tomorrow is Halloween and just a couple of quick notes!  The party is from 12:45 to 1:45 tomorrow afternoon!  Students are to come to school in their regular clothes with their costumes in a bag to keep at their seats.  After lunch, we will get our costumes on and start out our party with a costume parade through Mrs. Kuieck’s room!  Then our wonderful parents have planned a terrific party after that!!  Students will go out to recess and have special (art), so please let your student know if you prefer that they take their costume off after the party.  We are looking forward to an exciting day!!!

Wow!  I am a bit behind!  Sorry about that parents!  I have been diligently working away on report cards and conference materials, and totally forgot to post on the blog!  So here I am to catch up!

First of all, a reminder that parent-teacher conferences start tomorrow!  I am really looking forward to meeting with all of you and talking about the progress of your student!  Report cards come home with your student tomorrow as well.  So you may want to grab it from your child’s backpack before you head up here to meet with me.  I would like to re-use the envelope that it comes home in, so if you would please just return only the envelope, I would appreciate it!

A big thank you to all of the parents who planned and prepared such a nice Halloween party for us!  The kids had a great time!  Here are a few pictures to check out:

Next, just an FYI that our first Reading Counts trimester ends on November 22.  I have gone over the reports with all of the students and we are working hard on passing our goals!  I have promised to treat the kids to a pizza party if EVERYONE makes their goal.  So please remind your reader to keep on reading away!!!

Finally, the Book Fair starts tomorrow.  We will be previewing the books and then buying on Thursday.  The Fair may also be open for shopping during the conferences.  It is a great way to encourage reading, proceeds help the school, and Scholastic does a wonderful job of supporting our schools.  So thanks for checking it out.  Maybe even get a little Christmas shopping done too!  🙂

Hope you have a great week!  Love – Mrs. Q

21700272.thmThis Friday, Oct. 29th, we will be having our Fall Harvest Party from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m.!  Students are invited to bring their costumes to school in a bag, and I will dismiss them around 12:30 to change.  We always have extra parents around to assist with getting all our ninjas and princesses into their garb. 🙂  I will be taking pictures for the blog and parents have a nice party planned. Please do not allow your student to bring any weapon of any sort to school. Safety, as well as fun, will be our goal for the day!  🙂
