Parent Teacher Interviews on November 1
I wanted to make sure to connect with you about the upcoming Parent Teacher Interview day on November 1.
This is essentially a more formal version of our September parent night where you have the opportunity to connect with your child’s teachers in regard to your student’s progress so far this year.
This Parent/Teacher Interview day replaces our report cards which were traditionally sent out at the beginning of December. As happened last year, students will not receive a report card until the end of January. Therefore, the parent teacher interview will be an important day to discuss progress, celebrate growth and consider goals for your child. We would love to see all our parents on this day!
On November 1, the school will be open from 10-4 for interviews. Here is some information on how this day will work:
- Please email me to request a specific appointment time or use the sign-up sheet available near the door of our classroom to sign up for a time slot.
- Check in at the school foyer to get headed in the right direction! There will also be free coffee, treats, and school store items available for purchase.
- Proceed to the room of the teacher you’d like to chat with about your child. Interviews are 15 minutes.

Hello Agents!
Here are your objectives this week.
Math: We will continue to learn multiple ways to represent numbers and place value.
Science: We will experiment weight and density of matter.
Language Arts: We will learn to use the organization trait in our writing by adding details that show instead of tell what is happening. We will also start our mini novel studies.

Bible: Our scripture memory for October is Matthew 6: 9-13.
Art: We will use what we learn about arrays to create a city scene.
Spelling: We will start our first spelling list this week with M1.
Important note: When practicing at home, the SWR program suggests that students sound out the words during the normal course of their day, which reinforces recognition of individual sounds. When combined with knowledge of phonograms and spelling rules, their research finds that this more effective at increasing spelling skills than rote memory by repeatedly writing out the words.
