Weekend Homework

Just a quick note!

We had such a great Halloween Party today! The baby picture game was very fun! A special thank you to all of the parents that helped or sent something :)

The only homework this weekend is PB 3.3 in Math and it is due on Tuesday but maybe we should do that over the weekend.... Also they can work on their Northeast Scrapbook pages for Social Studies.  We still have one more stop for the letter but they could pick 2 places right now to write about and then see if Washington DC would be their 3rd favorite place on Monday. 

Also in the Friday Folders is a form regarding the safe environment curriculum that we will be discussing next week. The form on the bottom only needs to be returned if you DO NOT want your child to participate.  If you are allowing your child to participate then nothing needs to be sent back.

Thank you and have a nice Halloweem weekend!!

Miss Winter's dog Lucy is a princess for Halloween- doesn't she look thrilled?!? 

Thursday Notes

Just a reminder that report cards will go home today.  We do not need the report card back- all we need is the brown envelope back and signed that you saw the report card.  Also in the envelope there is a note from Mrs. Stasi and a reminder of when your conference day and time is.

We will have Friday Folders tomorrow like normal.
