Week 7 - October 19 - 23

I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy some of the great fall colors that we get to experience in Michigan. The few snowflakes we saw are just a reminder that the kids need to dress in layers when coming to school. You never know what to expect!

Word Study - On Friday, your child should have gotten a set of words to study for spelling. All reading classes started this work on Friday and the first final test will be Thursday. Look for new words to come home every Friday.

PLTW - The class continues to work on their robots and face new challenges. This week we will be working on checking materials and making plans for the next steps. Check the pictures page for more videos from class.

Conferences - These will begin this week on Wednesday and Thursday. I will send a reminder home with your child. Please have your child attend if possible.

Permission to publish - Some families still need to complete this portion of the Infosnap form. If your child has mentioned this to you, please click on the link below and complete this form. Your child's art work or other work can not be used if this is not completed.
