Lander Elementary Friday Folder
Thursday, October 19, 2017
Happy Thursday!
The days seem to be flying by! It is hard to believe that we have already reached the end of the first quarter. Our 5th graders enjoyed beautiful weather on their trip to Holden Arboretum this week. Additionally, each morning at Lander we welcome several Excel TECC TEACH students who volunteer in our classrooms and are learning to be teachers. We are grateful for this program which provides a great experience for our little and big Wildcats.
Many of our teachers have also spent this week doing some final assessments for report cards and to begin preparing for our conferences. If you have not had the chance please contact your child's homeroom teacher to schedule a conference during the evening on November 2nd or during the day on November 3rd. Conferences are a great chance to learn about your child's progress in the classroom and answer any questions you may have. Please see this link with some tips for making the most of your conference with the teacher.
The next few weeks will be busy with several events:
- Picture Retake and the 5th grade Panorama day is coming on October 23rd. 5th graders are asked to wear their Lander T-Shirts on this day.
- Kindergarten Cuddle Up and Read will be on Friday, October 27th, we welcome one adult per child to join us in our Kindergarten classrooms and see how much they are growing in their reading!
- Our annual Halloween Parade and Party is coming on October 31st - please see the flyer for information about this event. Please sign and return the Halloween Dismissal form to the office as soon as possible.
