     Wow, it is already October and we have been so very busy!  We are getting into a routine and continue to work on developing good work habits.  Please check & sign your child's assignment pad each night and encourage them to utilize the assignment pad, homework folder and binder to keep themselves organized.  In addition students may use the Google calendar (found in the HW and Assignments tab) to help them keep track of their assignments. 

Important Dates to Remember: 
Picture Day: Tuesday October 6th
Go Home Early Drill: Friday October 9th
Columbus Day: No School: Monday October 12th
Bingo Night & Book Fair: Friday October 16th


Individual photos and class picture day will be on  Tuesday October 6th.  Please make sure your child comes with picture money and a fabulous smile!  If you have any questions, please let me know.
I have been trying out a new way to communicate with parents via text messaging with the Remind App. Remind is a free, safe, and simple messaging tool that helps teachers share important updates and reminders with students & parents. I am able to send individual text messages directly to parents communicating how a child's day is going or letting a parent know immediately if there is a problem.
If you haven't signed up please do so.  You can subscribe by text, email or using the Remind App.  All personal information is kept private.
