Donors Choose Project Update
I'm asking for donations of any size to help our class. Through October 11, 2015, any donation you make to my project will be doubled (up to $100). If you know anyone who is passionate about education, please pass this along. Your donation will brighten your students' school year, and you'll get photos and thank yous from our class.
Here's our classroom request:

I greatly appreciate your support!
Conferences
It's almost time for our fall conferences! As you know, this year we will be conducting student-led conferences. Student-led conferences allow your child to be a part of the conference. They will have the opportunity to share what they have been learning so that we can celebrate accomplishments and discuss future goals.
DATES: October 5 – October 21
TIMES: 15-minute increment at various times of the day
PLACE: Room 41
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Monday, October 5th
To schedule your conference, please enter the following link in your Internet browser: www.ptcfast.com/reg1
Once the page opens, you will be prompted for your Entry Code, where you should enter RFG164890
If you have signed up for an after-school conference, you are welcome to meet me at door 13 which is the first grade pod door. This will save time from having to walk to and from the front office. If you have signed up for a morning conference, I will meet you at the front doors of the school.
I look forward to discussing your child's progress with you.
