Friday Newsletter Updates on Thursday, 11/8

Parent - Teacher Conferences and Report Cards
All grades will be calculated tonight and tomorrow and report cards will be printed tomorrow. They will be available to you at your scheduled conference time. Swing by early to pick it up to see it before our meeting. I will attach them to the wall in envelopes.

Yesterday you should have recieved a note with your scheduled time. A few small changes, were made, so double check with your child if yours was switched. (If you sent me a note, it was switched. One other person was moved 15 minutes earlier.) I look forward to talking with everyone next week.

Quarter 2 Memory Assignments
All of the memory for the second quarter is coming home today. You will find both at-home and at-school assignments. Attached to the newsletter is next week's memory slip, Q2W1.

Speed Stacks World Record Attempt
The fourth grade did their part! We successfully stacked for 30 minutes, so 19 more people will be added to the list. For more information check www.speedstacks.com and http://www.worldsportstackingassociation.org/ for more information about the world record attempt.

Permission Slip, Driver Form, and Payment
One week from Monday is our field trip to the Central Wisconsin Environmental Station! (http://www.uwsp.edu/cnr/cwes/ for more information) A little more than half of you have returned your permission slips, driver forms, and payment. I will be sending additional copies home next week along with some additional information about the trip.

Get Healthy!
There seems to be a lot of kids out sick - not too many in our class yet, but in school there is some general icky-ness. Keep those hands washed and keep some chicken soup handy! (I wonder if the candy corn I am munching helps...)
