Dear parents-
Thank you so much for the wonderful day on Friday for those of you who could come! It was so fun and exciting. I loved having the picnic opportunity- and Mother Nature held out for us. We will be doing an all day field trip again in the spring to Crystal Hotsprings- this too will be another FAMILY day- hopefully everyone can make it.
This week I will be gone Wednesday- Friday. I will be in Florida presenting at a Montessori Conference. Ms. Susan and Ms. Autumn will be in the classroom.
New Spelling words were given on Tuesday- the students should have brought a copy home to practice. They will have their review the following Tuesday, Nov. 8.
Their Original Art Works also came home. This is a fundraiser amongst classrooms- all money raised goes to the classroom. Last year the money went towards field trips. The date to place is orders by is November 14.
6th graders Redwoods field trip money is due by November 16!
Monday is Halloween!! Please do not send your child to school in a costume- this was the purpose of Fall Festival. We have been carving pumpkins and having pumpkin fun all week as well pumpkin math.
