Hello there!

Boy, can I tell it is getting close to Halloween!  Each day gets more challenging as the week progresses.  I tried to forbid your children from eating candy until Friday night, but they didn’t go for it.  Bummer!  We’ll just keep trying to channel all of that extra energy into getting more work done!

We are having our Halloween pancake breakfast on Friday morning, so send your children to school hungry!  I will be making the pancakes and providing the butter and syrup.  If you would like to help with anything else, you can sign up here: http://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/twmyj

There is an important 6th grade parent meeting tomorrow at 4:30PM at the school.  Please try to be there! 

6th graders received a new math assignment today.  They are still on lesson 1.4.  Problems 13-26 are due on Friday.  This may be challenging for some of them.  I told them to do the ones that they could and try their best.  Only four of the 6th graders came today prepared with their assignment that was due.  Please help me in encouraging your students to complete their assignments and turn them in on time.

We have been celebrating Red Ribbon Week this week at school.   As part of the celebration, the school is having a door decorating contest.  We have worked really hard and created an amazing door!  If we win, we get to have a pizza party.  The judging is tomorrow, so please keep your fingers crossed for us!

Enjoy the rest of your week!  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
