A personal thank you to all the parents and students who came up for parent conferences today. I feel so blessed to have such supportive families and hard working students. It is truly a pleasure to teach every day.
A few reminders from our class:
- Word work will be differentiated on homework. Your child's pattern will be indicated on their page.
- I will be updating this website with some differentiation activities for Spelling and Math.
- I will also be adding some information (hopefully daily) on a tip to use with your child studying at home or to develop leadership skills. Please feel free to comment when you see your child using leadership skills at home. I will share these with the class.
- There is still one parking permit open for October.It is being discounted for 15 dollars for the rest of the month.
- Fall Festival: October 22nd, 11-3, support our school and have a great time with your teachers and Teravista community. Tickets are on sale, auction baskets are being completed, and teachers are putting together their auction ideas. You won't want to miss the fun!
- Red Ribbon Week is coming up October 24-28. Keep checking back for our fun Red Ribbon Activities.
