Week 3

Hello families! 

Thank you all for coming to meet with us this week! I love parent conferences, and getting to chat with each of you about your amazing kids is such a gift. THANK YOU for sharing your kiddos with us. 

What's happening in 4A:

• There will be NO SCHOOL Monday, October 28. There will also be a half-day on Friday, November 1 for teacher professional development. 

• The Read-A-Thon is this Thursday! Students may wear their approved costume to school this day. We will be having an assembly and reading with our first grade buddy class in the morning. In the afternoon we will be celebrating by building forts to read in and having some yummy snacks. You can sign up to help here. Students will be allowed to bring in one pillow, blanket, OR stuffed animal. 

• We will celebrate all of our October birthday's on Birthday Friday- November 1. It is a half-day, so we will celebrate just before pack up. If you have a child with an October birthday and would like to send in treats for the class, please send them in with your child that Friday.
