Today was a wonderful Wednesday in room 204. I look forward to seeing some of you tonight for conferences. Our fall conferences are for the parents and teacher to meet. You are welcome to visit the book fair while you are visiting the school on Wednesday and Thursday!

Parent/Teacher conferences are Wednesday Nov 17 (5pm -8pm) and Thursday Nov 18 (1 – 4pm and 5- 8 pm) (Thursday Nov. 18 is a half day for students.) The conference sign-up sheets are now posted outside the classroom door. Please sign up for a conference time. Or, email me with your day and ‘top three’ times and I will sign up for you.
