Thank you so much to everyone who was able to make it to conferences this week!  I was very proud of all of our students and how well they led their own conferences.  It was great watching the pride they had in themselves and sharing their educational goals with their families.  Thank you for your willingness to try something new and for all of your great feedback!

We have 2 SCSU student teachers starting in our room next week.  I always believe the more teachers the better so I am very excited to have them here for 3 hours a day for 6 weeks.

Our main reading skills for next week will be determining fact from opinion and summarizing. We will also be looking different suffixes and investigating some greek and latin word parts.

In preparation for our NEXT lessons, I would love for families to take the time and talk about where their own ancestors came from.  I am going to be encouraging students to interview members of their family to find out more about their own backgrounds and cultures.

We will be having our end of the month reward this week for all students who do not have any late work.  Please check with your child to be sure they are all caught up!

Our first White Elephant Sale will be held on Friday.  Students were given a permission slip that needs to be returned in order to participate.  We are practicing responsibility so they MUST have this form signed and they cannot get a new one if lost.
Friday is also pajama day and our school will be viewing the movie "Ant Bully" as a culmination to Bully Prevention Month.

If you thought of any other questions you may still have after conferences, please let me know!

Have a great weekend/week:)
