It was a marvelous Monday in room 204. I am so proud of our hard working class! Today we learned how to write a friendly letter and are writing our first one to you. You will get to read it at your conference. In the afternoon, we worked on our natural disaster script for our news report. At the end of the day, students received their report cards. I gave them a chance to look at these on Friday. Please look for a letter to accompany the report card in the envelope. You can sign the envelope and return it to school as soon as possible. Please keep the report card.
We have a few parents who haven’t signed up for a conference time. I am more than willing to help with this. Please send me an email if I can sign you up for a time.
Fall conferences will be held on November 16th and 17th. The sign-up sheet is posted outside of our classroom. If you would like for me to sign you up for a conference, please send me an email with the approximate time and day that works best for you. I understand that may be hard to get into the building for this. I am happy to help!
