Weekend Updates
I just wanted to remind everyone that our class is in charge of a Mexican Fiesta Basket for the Fall Festival. All basket items need to be sent to school Monday. If you would rather make a monetary donation, someone from school will shop for you. We're hoping to make enough money at the Fall Festival to purchase more iPads for our school. Thank you for supporting our school!
Fall Festival is next Friday, October 19th.
Have a super fantastic weekend!

Fall Break is here and we are so excited! I have so enjoyed these first 8 weeks of school. We have learned A LOT! I hope that each of you have a fantastic, relaxing Fall Break whether it be at home or away. I think we are all in need of some rest.
Oh Baby! As you all know, I am expecting a new bundle of joy in March. This morning, I shared a profile ultrasound with the students. They were also able to hear the baby's heartbeat that we had recorded. They are all anxious to find out the gender of the baby as am I. I told them I will post this on my website by Monday as we will be finding out tomorrow. If your child is itching to know, please check back on my website in the next few days for the news. I appreciate your prayers and support during this time.
Have a terrific LONG weekend!

Some mastered 3 or 4 facts throughout the day yesterday. Check out the school's website for helpful math sites. www.multiplication.com and www.mathplayground.com are both terrific sites.
*If your child did not return their signed conduct report today, they need to do so tomorrow.
*Students who ordered from our October Book Club should be receiving orders by the end of the week. I received confirmation that the order had been shipped. FINGERS CROSSED!

Kudos to all of the 4th graders who participated in The Adventures of Lewis and Clark today. I am so proud of each of them! I thought they did a fantastic job.

The kids were so excited to see you there!
