This morning we enjoyed a performance of Puss in Boots by Rising Stars. It was a great production, and the students were mesmerized by the talent! We are learning to use the Show Me app. Today we practiced in math during our study of perimeter and have included it to share with you!
Choice hour selections are coming home today. The new class will begin on Monday.
Just a reminder that the kids don’t have school on Friday. Teachers will be hard at work on report cards which will go home on the 14th!
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!
