8-14 November 2010
No School on Thursday, 11 November, and ...... thank you for your service!
Welcome back! We survived the rains of autumn last week and unlike Vicenza, our bus drivers/parent escorts were very efficient! Of course, we didn't have the floods they experienced either.
This week we'll have another day (& possibly two days) with a substitute! I will attend the training for the new Pearson Reading/Language Arts Reading Street adoption on Tuesday, and I'll also possibly be out on Friday. Encourage your child's full cooperation for the substitute-thank you!
Thank for sending in your confirmation slips for Parent Teacher Conferences scheduled for 15-16/Monday-Tuesday/November of next week. We've collected some great artifacts from the last 9 weeks and their progress toward mastery of 1st grade standards will be at the center of discussion during our scheduled appointment time.
We're also looking forward to our first Study Trip to Stradella's Pasticerria. Please return your permission slips, and 1.50 Euro in a zip-loc bag with name on the outside. It's such a fun trip and hopefully the rain won't show up in the a.m. for our walking travels.
Please check the Homework Links, and renew your commitment to the IXL Math, RAZ-KIDS Reading,& Samson's Classroom with spelling and sight words all-in-one!
The links will be change on Monday afternoon, so watch for the recent deletions and additions.
Farewell to Lannette on Tuesday, we'll miss you so much!!!
Mrs. Petty
