Reminders and Up & Comings

Reading Folders & Home Links
Thank you, thank you for reading with your child each night!!  I just get so excited when I check their folders each day!!  Just a reminder to take 5-10 minutes to read through their take home book with them and mark your initials on the date.  Keep up the great work!

Home Links, too!  Almost everyone has been very faithful about completing and returning their Home Links.  Even more faithful than I have been in sending them home...sorry for the multiples sometimes.  Thank you for your time and effort to work with your child at home and help them to practice their skills.

Title 1 Family Night
Family Night will be next week Thursday, October 17th from 5:30-7pm.  Invitations were sent home.  If you have sent yours back either to me or with a sibling, thank you.  If not, please remember to RSVP so that we know how many to plan on for supper.  Supper will be pasta and will be served from 5:30-6pm.  Then classroom activities will be from 6-7pm.

Delayed Start
The October delayed start day is Monday, October 21.  School will start at 10:00am.

Halloween
Halloween is quickly approaching!!  We will be doing our annual Halloween parade through the school and, weather permitting, around town for a short ways.  Instead of a class party, the 2nd graders will be doing a set of Halloween rotations.  This will run sort of the same way as our Johnny Appleseed day did.  The students will rotate through the 2nd grade classrooms and do something Halloweenish in each room.  In our classroom we will be watching The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, so it's looking like I won't really need parent help for that part, but if you'd like to join us for the parade, there will be more information to follow.

Have a great week!!
