Half Way Day and the end of the 2nd quarter

Well, we are nearly halfway through the school year! It doesn't seem possible! January 14th, marks the official "halfway" day and in honor of it, students will be allowed to wear either their uniform/spirit wear top with any bottoms or any top with uniform bottoms! During lunch Home and School will be serving a special "halfway" treat.

The end of the 2nd quarter is also January 14th. Report cards will be mailed to you January 27. Included with your child's report card will be a comment sheet on which I will have written a few things regarding your child's progress.

Oh the weather outside is frightful!

Can you believe that we're already a week into December? And the weather certainly does show it! Just a reminder that because we are in the full throes of winter, please make sure to dress your child accordingly. Also, be sure to send their regular indoor shoes with them (especially on the days when we have P.E.). Below are the General Guidelines for indoor recess...the same applies for drop-off in the mornings.
Ten degrees above zero or lower – indoor recess
Wind chill factor of zero or lower – indoor recess
Rain, drizzle, or blizzard conditions – indoor recess

Don't forget, the SJCA LC Christmas concert is tomorrow, Tuesday, December 7 at 6:30 pm in the Upper Campus Auditorium! I've peeked in on a few rehearsal and Mr. Robinson has done a fantastic job with the kids! I can't wait to see everyone there!

Reminders and Updates

Hello families of Room 207! Can you believe that the first quarter of the school year is done?! Time really does fly when you're having fun!

Just a couple of reminders/updates:

• Parent/Teacher Conferences are quickly approaching...please make sure to fill out and return your conference time request sheet if you have not already done so. Conferences will be held on Thursday, November 18 from Noon-4:00 pm and Monday, November 22 from 3:00-6:00 pm. I look foward to seeing everyone!
• There has been a slight change in the 4th grade homework policy; Mrs. Kaeppeler and I both feel that it is a necessity for students to recognize the importance of handing assignments in on time, therefore, if an assignment is not completed by the due date, recess will be forfieted by that individual student until it is completed.
• Remember...this Thursday, November 4 is Noon dismissal and there is no school this Friday, November 5! Enjoy the long weekend!

Red Ribbon Week

This week our school will be participating in Red Ribbon Week! This year's theme is "Know God, No Drugs" and each day our class will be doing something different to show our promise to be drug free!

Monday: Wear Red

Tuesday: Crazy Sock day

Wednesday: Pledge to be drug free

Thursday: Pray for the children

Friday: "Not Scared to Say No" on this day you can wear an orange or black top with jeans

And don't forget our Halloween Dance Party is Friday night from 5:30-8:00 pm! It's sure to be a lot of fun! I hope to see you all there!

Don't forget!

Don't forget, there is no school on Friday, October 8!

Enjoy the long weekend!

Spelling Words

Parents, I will be posting each week's spelling words under the Spelling List tab every Monday. If your child happens to misplace their own list or forgets to bring it home, you will still be able to access it here on my webpage.
