October Post

Maybe I would do better if I gave myself the goal of posting once a month rather than every week, that's a goal that's more attainable at the present.  I know when I posted in September, I said that our garden would be off and running soon; little did I know, two chicken snakes would be killed IN the garden since then and a rattlesnake would be found in the parking lot.  Needless to say, our garden project was put on the back burner until the coolness of fall really begins.  Snakes and I do NOT get along.  Have no fear though, we WILL be planting.  Your generous donations will not go unused!

Parent conferences are next week Wednesday and Thursday.  This truly is one of my favorite times of the year because I haven't seen most of you since meet the teacher night and it's important for me to keep our lines of communication up and going strong.  Please remember to sign up for a time slot if you have not already done so.

This week, students will take a math benchmark.  It looks a bit different this year, it's over things that have already been taught as opposed to things that they will learn by the end of the year.  This test will give us an accurate result of where your child is in their learning this year.  It will serve us so much more if there are concepts that must be retaught.

As always, my door (and our classroom) is always open, so please drop me an email, a phone call or drop by!

Enjoy your week!
