Looking out at this rainy Sunday, I'm wondering where that beautiful fall weather has gone???? I enjoyed meeting with a few of you last week for conferences and look forward to Monday's scheduled Parent conferences.
Just a reminder that this will be a three day week so we will not have Spelling, Comprehension, Vocabulary or Word Analysis tests. There is a Unit 4 Math test scheduled for Monday Nov. 21.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. I am thankful for positive students and positive parental support!!!
Until next week-
Let's keep Listening, Learning & Laughing in Room 202.

I'm getting spoiled and hopeful that every fall weekend will be sunny yet crisp!!! Only problem is that at 6:00 tonight it was dark!!! Bedtime will become earlier and earlier!! We do not have school on Tues. Nov. 8 and also not on Fri. Nov. 11. Don't forget to vote on Tuesday!!! Because we only have 3 days at school this week, we will not have spelling, vocabulary, word analysis or comprehension tests. I do want the students to read every night.... like always!!! We will continue to work on multiplication in math. Please help your child work on multiplication facts.
Until next week.... keep listening, learning and laughing!!!
