Hang Out Night and End of First Quarter

10/18/2013

0 Comments

 
Dear Parents and Friends of A-124,

I hope everyone had a great time at the Hang Out Night last night!  I was excited to see many of our classmates in attendance, and wearing some great costumes!  Thank you to PTA and all of the volunteers who made the evening a great success!

This upcoming week will be a short, but busy one.  Monday is our BSSE field trip, and the class has been busily preparing for this for many weeks.  Please make sure a permission slip/written permission is given by Monday morning, as we'll have to board the bus immediately after morning announcements. 


On Wednesday and Thursday, we have Parent-Teacher conferences.  Please make sure your student also attends the conference with you, since we are doing student-led conferences.  Your students have been working very hard to collect artifacts that show what they are proud of so far this year.  1st Quarter grade cards will be given out at conferences. 


DARE lessons are underway and will continue each Tuesday through January.  Once a date is set for DARE graduation, I will let you know.


I'm looking forward to 2nd Quarter, which will include finishing memoirs, beginning our study of fractions and decimals, learning about plants, animals and the human body, researching the early explorers of our country and developing and refining critical thinking skills about literature. 

Have a great rest of the weekend. 

-Mrs. Morehead

October Info

Dear Parents and Friends,

There were several important papers sent home in students' Friday Folders.  Please make sure your student goes over this with you sometime this weekend.  In it are the following:

  •  Permission slip for Ballet field trip on Wednesday.  This is due Monday!
  • Information about fundraising items being delivered.
  • Conference time request.  Conferences are on Oct. 23rd and 24th.  I will do my best to schedule your first preferred time, but it will be first come, first served, so the sooner you return your top three choices, the more likely it is that I will be able to give it to you.  
  • BSSE Chaperone request-If you are interested in being a chaperone on our BSSE field trip on Oct. 21st (Monday) please complete the blue form and return it to school. 
I did briefly explain to students that they should plan on attending the conference with you.  I have student-led conferences, in which they will be sharing their work with you so far this year and explaining how they think they are progressing.  We will be spending class time preparing for this so that they are ready!  I will be a coach for the student, and adding in some thoughts at the end about test scores and data.  Please let me know if you have questions about this. 

Don't forget that this Monday is the Pink Out for Breast Cancer Awareness.  The more pink items of clothing your student wears, the more points we get.  If our class earns the most points, we get a cotton candy treat on Friday. 

Have a great weekend!


-Mrs. Morehead
