All Sorts of News...It's Been a While!

End of the First Quarter - Report Cards
Tomorrow is the end of the first quarter. I'll be calculating grades over the weekend and printing report cards soon after. Report cards will be handed out at parent / teacher conferences on November 10, 11, or 13.

Costume Day and Party
Tomorrow morning at 9:00 we will have our traditional costume parade. So far I know of two literature related costumes, and mine is easy - and I hope recognizable to the kids. Remember our school guidelines. Following the costume parade there will be a party in the room with some snacks and activities. Then we'll do our best to have a "normal" rest of the day.

Thursday and Friday - No School
Teacher and pastors will be attending the Professional Church Workers Conference in Green Bay on Thursday and Friday. Students, enjoy your extra two days off.

Parent / Teacher Conferences
A bright yellow note was sent home last week asking your input on scheduling conferences. First priority is given to families with multiple children and to families with upper graders due to the upper grade conference schedule. However, usually everyone gets the evening and time range they request. Kindly give me a few options. It's hard to fit three people in at 5:30 on Thursday if three people request the same thing. I can fit a 5:00 and 5:20 and 5:40 if given a range of time. Thanks. I look forward to seeing all of you.

C.W.E.S. Field Trip
Coming home today is another packet for the Environmental Station field trip. I won't repeat everything here since it's all in the note.

However, volunteer drivers, if you would like to drive we could still use one driver for the return trip. There were some people who volunteered to drive both ways, but I'd like to give everyone a chance if they wish, and hopefully people won't need to drive both ways. If you'd still like to drive, please let me know tomorrow. Also, if you volunteered to drive both ways and wouldn't mind taking both shifts, please let me know that too. An email about drivers would be fine.

Spelling Schedule
Since this is only a three day week, and next week we'll be in class only two days due to our field trip, we'll treat those five days as one week. So we'll have this week's spelling test next week on Tuesday.

Memory
Memory for the first quarter is done, but the second quarter's memory will come home next week. There will be no memory assignments for next week.

Culvers Night Tonight, 10/27
Just a reminder.
