Parent Conferences

Today you will be receiving a note in the Home Folder with a scheduled time for your Parent Conference. If the time on the paper works for you, please sign it and send it back to school. If the time does not work for you, please either email me or leave a note in the channel book with two other alternate times that would work for you and I will try to accommodate you as best as I can.

Also, if your child has a sibling, please let me know and I can try to coordinate with that teacher to set up times that are close together.


Please get back to me by Tuesday, October 30.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Hello Parents,

This week is Celebrate Literacy Week for all of Elementary. We are going to be doing A LOT of fun things to celebrate and enjoy reading this week. The one thing I want to talk to you about is that on Wednesday we are doing Dress As a Book Character Day and we will have a parade to show the school our costumes! The costume that your student wears to school needs to be a character from a book that they know about. This is not Halloween, so Halloween costumes are not acceptable. The costume MUST be of a character from a book! These costumes can be homemade with paper and clothes from home. Dressing up is optional, so if your child chooses to not dress up, they must come in school uniform.

Parents please either send the book that the character is from to school or send a print out of the cover of the book so that your student can share the book with the class. Also, on Wednesday we have P.E. so the costume should be something that they can wear and still be able to participate in P.E

Please keep in mind that characters like Ben Ten, Spongebob, Lightning McQueen are not acceptable. A general rule could be that if it was a book before it was a show or movie then it is fine. But if it was a movie before it was a book, then it is not acceptable. I have listed some ideas to help below. Thanks for helping with bring our book characters to life and for supporting and helping celebrate literacy with your children!

Some ideas:
--The Cat in the Hat
--Arthur or D.W. from the Arthur books
--Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Cat in the Hat
--Curious George
--Dora
--Rapunzel
--Characters from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Charlie, Violet, Oompa Loompa)
--Max or a Wild Thing from Where the Wild Things Are
--Little Red Riding Hood
--Disney Princesses
--Characters from The Wizard of Oz
--Horton from Horton Hears a Who
--The Lorax
--Tacky the Pengiun
--Pecos Bill
--The Very Hungry Caterpillar
--Winnie the Pooh Characters
--David from the David books (No, David!)
--Any Dr. Seuss Characters (Red Fish, Blue Fish, Sneetches, Cindy Lou Who, The Grinch, Ten Apples Up on Top, Sam I am)
*****For more ideas, you can do a Google search for "Dress as a book character day ideas" or "Dr. Suess Dress Up Ideas" or anything along those lines. There are TONS of ideas out there! ****

Field Trip to Sitara

This is a reminder of the field trip to Sitara on Thursday. Please send your children with their normal backpacks so they can still carry their lunch and normal school work- there will be time in the morning and when we return for classroom work.

A few reminders:

1. Regular backpacks
2. Wear the school uniform
3. Do not send money as there is no chance to buy
4. The school food policy is still in effect on field trips!  Please send only healthy food.  Any unhealthy food will be sent home.

Thank you so much for your cooperation!  We are looking forward to seeing Ali Baba and the 4 Thieves!

Grade 1 and Grade 2 Values

Grade 1 and Grade 2 are learning about Values.  Each month the teacher will pick a value for the children to learn about.  This is helping the children to learn how to play nicely with their friends, take care of themselves and respect people around them. 

This month, the Value is Friendship.  The children will be given a Value card if a teacher catches them showing friendship.  The child then puts their card in a draw box.  Every 2 weeks, Grade 1A, Grade 1B, Grade 2A and Grade 2B will meet for a Values Celebration.  We will talk about the Value, and we will also draw 4 names from the box.  These 4 children are chosen randomly!  They will have morning snack in the Elementary office with Ms. Sanaa as a special prize!  They will have hot chocolate in the cold months, and some popcorn in the warm months!

I am looking forward to seeing our kids showing the values!

October Value: Friendship
Friendship is having kind words to other people, helping people, giving a hug or playing with someone who you don't always play with
