Odds & Ends
Parent/Teacher Conference Sign-Ups: On Monday, October 3rd at 4:00 pm, each teacher will e-mail a link to the sign-up page for her class' Parent/Teacher Conferences. Times are available on a first come, first serve basis. Conferences will take place on October 26th (half day) & October 27th (full day). Each time slot is 20 minutes long.
Reading Logs: Reading logs for October are coming home today (Sept. 30th). Students will need to read 20 minutes a night for an average of 5 nights a week and record on their logs. If they read for 20 days during the month of October, they will earn a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. We will send home a new reading log each month.
Sight Word Lists: Each quarter we assess the students on reading a list of common words, also known as sight words. For more information and a list of the words, please click here: Monthly Sight Word Lists.
