Odds and Ends:
Thank you! It was so wonderful to meet with so many of the families for parent teacher conference. It is always nice to have an opportunity to sit and discuss your child's progress together. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email or call! Thanks you for your continued support!
Thank you to all of the parents who helped at this year's Halloween Party! What a fun time the kids had! We all really appreciate the generous donations of food, drinks, and party utensils and the fun games prepared for the class! I hope you all had a great, fun, and safe Halloween!

*English: The students finished writing their persuasive and descriptive haunted house papers. They turned out spooktacular. We applied what we know about adjectives, similes, sensory words, color words, and descriptive language to our writing. *Spelling: We are in week 2 of our spelling list. Check on your child's progress with their spelling activities. 3 activities from the spelling menu are due on Fri. 11/8. That is also the day of the test.
