Update

Report cards went home today along with the students' grades from their D.O.L., spelling, vocabulary, and comprehension tests. Several students struggled with today's spelling words. Please encourage your child to practice those words that may be unfamiliar to them.
Make sure that you sign the back of your child's report card folder and return on Monday.

PTO play- I sent a letter home today about our PTO play, which will be on the 17th of November. If you would not like your child to participate in the play, please send the letter back indicating such.
Fawn Trip- The Fawn trip will be on Tuesday 20th. We will be leaving the school at 8:15. Parents are welcome to go on this trip, but you will need to drive. Everyone needs to bring a sack lunch. Students may not bring electronic devices, but they may bring cameras and bottled water to carry with them. They may also bring towels to sit on for picnic style lunch. For a little more fun after lunch, they may bring footballs, soccer balls, jump ropes or Frisbees.
Due to AMSTI training on the day of the trip, I will not be attending. :(

Endocrine System Quiz- There were a lot of low grades on the skeleton quiz last week due to students not studying. I gave each student a study guide for the quiz, which is on 10/21. Please encourage your child to study over the weekend. I will post anther video of the endocrine system after this post.

Spelling and Vocabulary words will be posted this weekend.
Red Ribbon Week- is next week. Mrs. Bassett is allowing students to wear their 50's-60's outfits on Friday.

Descriptive essay for "Write about someone who inspires you" is due this Monday.
