We had time to explore even more in our new social studies books! It was a busy and productive day for us in Room 204. We had fun singing the continent song. The sign-up for Parent-Teacher conferences is now up! Please stop by our classroom with your calendar so you can choose a day/time that works for you! I look forward to meeting with everyone!

About two weeks ago, you received your child’s graded “All About Me Memoir.” It asked you to sign it and send it back in with your child. We need it for a special tech project we are starting tomorrow or Wednesday, so please send it back!!! We are very excited about it!

*Please encourage your child to bring a water bottle to class so he/she does not have to leave class when thirsty!

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHILD TO BRING SHARPENED PENCILS TO SCHOOL EACH DAY! PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR CHILD WITH A PERSONAL PENCIL SHARPENER TO KEEP IN HIS/HER BINDER!!!

Halloween at BCS is Friday October 30th. Students should come to school in their normal school clothes. At 1:15 the students will change into their costumes. (No full face masks in the class room, weapons, fake blood or inappropriate costumes). The BCS parade will start at 1:45 and take you two laps around the building. Then, we will come back to our homeroom for our Halloween party from 2:15- 3:00. At 3:00 we will begin cleaning up and have bucket distribution time.

Here’s what we have for you tonight:
