Hello Parents,
It has been such a busy, exciting week. RED RIBBON WEEK: On Monday we kicked off our Red Ribbon Week with an assembly hosted by the Bobby Lawrence Karate studio. They taught students about respecting their parents, their teachers, and their bodies. An invitation to a free karate class was sent out this week. If you would like to attend, have your children write down 5 good things they can do for their body, and join instructor Justus Lawrence at the studio. (An school email was sent out with time and location.) HEARING SCREENINGS: Our school did hearing screenings for all of our students today. You will be contacted soon if there was any concern regarding your child’s hearing. BOOK REPORTS DUE NEXT WEEK: Book reports will be due next Friday, September 29th. Please begin working on this if you have not already done so. An email was sent today with our classical literature book list, and I will attach a copy with this email. We do ask that your child’s book choice would be from this book list. However, this book list is not exclusive. The goal is for our students to be exposed to quality literature. If you have another book in mind, please let me know. I want to share this note from our librarian regarding our Classical Literature Reading Lists: “As we work toward a classical education for your child, our goal is that we use books that are classical in nature, proven quality literature, and somewhat time-tested, enabling [each] child to become a great thinker, learner and contributor to society. Students may pick from any of these books for book reports, as long as they are reasonably challenging. Teachers or the Librarian may approve books not included on this list.” Ms. Beckstrand PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES AND EARLY OUT DAYS: Parent teacher conferences will begin next Wednesday, September 27, from 2-7, and will continue on Thursday, September 28, from 2-5. The front office has sent an email for you to sign up on the conference schedule. Due to Parent-Teacher Conferences, both WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY (27th-28th) will be EARLY OUT days. Please be prepared to pick up your children at 1:30. BOOK FAIR: Our school Book Fair will begin next week, September 25-29th. This is a great opportunity to purchase some great books for your child, and raise money for our school library as well. Stop by and check out the book store while you are here for parent-teacher conferences. I will have a classroom wish list at the book fair if you would like to purchase any books for our classroom. SCHOOL PICTURES: Picture day is Tuesday, October 3rd. Fliers have been sent home if you would like to purchase photos of your child. Thank you for the opportunity to work with your children. I am so proud of their hard work, and I love being their teacher! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
