October News

Happy Monday! So many exciting new things to report on...


1. Today we began our Fargo Force Reading Incentive Program.  Please see the program guide your child brought home!  Each day, please record the amount of minutes read as well as your initials.  The students are working towards some awesome goals. We calculated it today, and we only need to read about 18 minutes each day outside of the school day to qualify for ALL of the incentives!! 

2. Students should still be recording their reading minutes on their Cats/Dogs Paws for Reading program forms. If you would only like to keep track of one, please have them return their Paws pages to me and I will get their minutes input!!

3.  Picture Day--Pictures will be taken this THURSDAY, October 4! Thank you to parents who have turned in your order forms.  If you haven't, please turn in by Tuesday afterschool so Kristie can process them for Scherling Photography. 

4.  United Way Change Drive/Red Ribbon Week--both are beginning this month. I will be sending more information home about these programs! 

5.  Book orders--I sent out October's book orders last Friday, along with our October calendar!  If you have access to ordering online @ www.scholastic.com/bookorders you can earn free $$$ towards your next online order--and we earn extra for our class as well!  Our class code is KWLYK.  https://orders.scholastic.com/KWYLK

6. Flat Stanley--Our Flat Stanley letters are finally being sent out this week.  Our class did a biography project last week that took much more time that I had planned for, so we were unable to completely finish our letters until Friday. 

7.  Parent-Teacher Conferences--These are coming up very quickly. I sent home a notice (on pink paper) today.  Please confirm and send back with your child as soon as possible.  I'm looking forward to meeting with each of you! If the time listed does not work, please let me know and I will see what I can do about rescheduling! 

8. As always--please feel free to e-mail me or call me with any questions or concerns!
