Room 105 News
October 30, 2013
Dear Families:
We began our first official science unit last Thursday. Thanks to David and Stefan (Kaleo and Nikolas' dads) for helping the lesson run extremely smoothly. Many of the children extended the lesson by hunting for solids around the playground!
Tomorrow is Halloween. Please send students to school with their costumes in their backpacks or a bag. They will be changing into costumes for the parade at 12:15.
Please no costumes with weapons of any kind (a light saber is considered a weapon), and no violent/bloody costumes at school.
Parent/Teacher Conferences begin next week. At the bottom of this newsletter you will find the list of currently scheduled conferences. If you can no longer meet at this time, please email me so that we may reschedule for another date or time.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at: susannereed@berkeley.net
Thank you,
Susanne Reed
