Happy Monday! I will see the students on Tuesday. I am at my daughters college doing the Mommy thing and taking her to her pre-op Dr.'s appt. for her tonsils being taken out on the 21st. I'd rather be at school. We have a busy week of assessments. I am retesting quite a few skills, to get updated information before I begin working on Trimester One  report cards. You will be able to preview them by the end of the month.
Book Fair is this week up in the Student Activity Center. Our time to buy is at 1:00 each day. You may come and shop with your child or Mrs. Rauman will be with them to help.
I am assessing the students this week so we will not be beginning any new skills except for spelling. They all received a new November/December note that shows you what skills we are working on in reading.
I can't wait for Poetry in the Park to see which Dr. Seuss character they are dressed up like. They have been writing Poetry. Come and see their scarecrows and poems, acrostic name poems, and shape poems in their journals. We have been busy.
Don't forget about our service project with the SPCA. Please send your donations to school. We will be bringing what we collected to the SPCA within the next couple of weeks.

Halloween was a blast! Enjoy the pictures.
