October 27th- No School October 31st- Halloween parade at 1:00 November 1st- October Book It reading logs are due. Help your child to set a reasonable reading goal at the top of the log. Somewhere between 4 and 8 books is reasonable. They do have to be books, but not chapter books. Library books work very well. A Note from Mrs. Scott If you signed up to help with the Halloween party on the 31st, I am sending a note home in your white envelope with a reminder of what you told me that you could do. Please write back or email me to let me know if you will still be able to help. Parent/teacher conferences begin this week, and I am excited to meet with all of you. If you need to make a change to your scheduled time, please call the office. Thank you.
