10/29 – 11/2

We have been working hard the last couple weeks on our first independent projects of the year. Currently students are working on region brochures to show what they have learned about the different regions in Oregon. We are also finishing up some fall/spooky writing! It has been so nice to have large chunks of time to get work done. I believe the class also enjoys a break from my voice and time to be productive 🙂

This week there is no homework from me, because book talks are due on Monday! The kids filled out a reminder page so that they can spend time this week finishing their books, speech, and visuals. Please encourage them to practice giving their book talk speeches to you. Another important piece of paper that has gone home is the pink parent teacher conference form with your date and time on it. If you have not seen this please let me know and I will let you know when your conference time is. The office will also have my master schedule if you need to make a change to your time.

Our Bounce House Party will be this Friday from 2-4pm in the gym and cafeteria! PTO will provide snacks and activities as well as supervision. A permission slip was sent home today with the information for the party. Please sign and return it as soon as possible. Friday is also picture retake day!

Our first class field trip has been scheduled! We will be going to the Museum of Natural and Cultural History on the U of O campus and then take a tour of the campus. This field trip is scheduled for November 19th from 9:15-12:15. If you would like to chaperone please send me an email or message on Class Dojo. You must have your background check submitted and approved before the trip. It will only be our class going so I would love to have at least 5 parents on the trip!
