November 15 - 19

Hope everybody liked the extra days this weekend.
The students enjoyed singing in the Remembrance Day Program. I just wished they had been seated differently so that everyone could be seen. Our class was lucky because we were at the front.
*Spelling - Test will be on Friday, November 19. Thanks for all of your help with practicing the words and sentence for the test every week.
*Student-Led Conference - Wednesday, November 17. Your child will have a folder to share with you. They are excited about this and want you to celebrate all the great things that they have accomplished. Remember to be positive in your comments. You will leave everything in the folder and on Thursday I'll send the sheets that can go home. The rest will be left at school for their Grade 1 book that you will receive at the end of the year.
Your child will also show you their slide show on the computer. They also want to play a math game with you! This is an awesome experience.
*Reading - Remember how important reading for 15 minutes every night is to your child becoming a fluent reader. I appreciate your efforts to try and be consistent every week.
*Chocolate Fund Raiser - Thanks to those who are helping our school raise money. All money and bars need to be back in by Friday, November 26.
*Weather - Students sure enjoy being outside better when they have mittens, hat, and scarf to keep them warm.
*Shoe laces and zipper skills are improving. Thanks for your help.
*Absent & Late - Thanks for writing messages in the agenda to let me know before hand or calling when your child is sick. Remember to try and have your child 5 - 10 minutes early in the morning so that they have a chance to settle in before school starts. They really enjoy that time visiting with me, with other students, etc.
Check Lost & Found!
Halfway through the month. 5 weeks of school left before the Christmas Holidays begin. Amazing!
Have a wonderful week with "Your Crew!"
