It was so great to hear about your amazing Halloween Trick-or-Treating ventures today in writer’s workshop. We loved hearing about everyone’s favorite thing of Halloween!

Tomorrow we have one parent volunteer from Mrs. Frishman’s class to help pack up the science kits. It would be so great if we could get one more parent to help with this task. If we had two, the job would be so easy! The packing will begin at 11:05 and should take about 40 minutes. If you can help, that would be great! Please email me if you can volunteer.

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!
