Parent conferences are coming up in a few weeks. Please stop by the classroom to sign up for a 20 minute conference time which will be posted on the door. You will receive your child’s progress report on the Wednesday before the conferences and we ask that you read it in its entirety before your conference. The purpose of the conference is to discuss the progress report and address any questions or concerns you have regarding it.
October is a favorite month for the children. They love the changing color of the leaves, our annual fall festival, and the cool weather that makes recess even more enjoyable. October also brings our Lower Elementary Halloween traditions. We invite children to dress up only as a character from a book, a historical figure, or in a costume from a different country. We aim to keep Halloween light-hearted and fun for everyone, so we will not allow weapons, blood, or anything scary. Our costume parade brings all ages together and we need to respect the needs of the younger children. Your child will need to prepare a paragraph to read to the class about his/her character or costume. The lower elementary will meet in classroom III after the parade and pictures and parents are invited to come watch the parade at and to listen to the paragraphs. In the afternoon we will have a class party with games and activities.
