Camp Out Day is Coming!

Hi families!

Report cards will be coming home Friday in your child’s Communication Folder. There is no school on Friday, October 31 for Parent/Teacher Conferences. I’m attaching a copy of my list so far, if you haven’t signed up, and are available to meet, please let me know. If you will be unable to meet on the 31st, please let me know and we can schedule a 20 minute conference for a different day.

Don’t forget that the children begin swimming on Thursday. Please make sure your child brings their swimming materials on that day.

I’m attaching information from Mrs. Calloway about the upcoming recorder unit. Please make sure your child has purchased their recorder and book by Wednesday, October 29.

Campout Day will be held on Friday, October 24 from 10:45 – 2:00. Please join us for the third year for this event. For a culminating activity that has its ties to geography, literature, and science, we have decided to take our class outdoors! Below is a series of events that will take place on this day.

Set-up a good campsite, tent, gear, etc.
Nature hike
Lunch “cook-out”
Sleeping bag stories
Nature hike #2
Field games
Clean-up “leave no trace”

Karen O’Donnell is coordinating volunteers and supplies for the day. More information will come home later this week.

The October Book Project is well under way. If your child has not finished reading their fantasy book, they need to finish as soon as possible so they do not fall far behind on their project. Mini-Goal #1 is due tomorrow. This goal is to finish their book and create their windsock top. The illustration does not need to be colored at this point, though it must be when the project is due.

That’s all for now!
