December Scholastic Book Order
Scholastic ordering catalogs went home on November 11.
Please have your order submitted to www.scholastic.com by Monday, November 18th. The class order code is: GKYLX.
Orders are being submitted earlier this month to ensure a December delivery (scholastic gets VERY busy and backed up this time of year).
New books may help keep your student interested and reading over the holiday break! This is essential since we start DRA testing the very first week back from our Winter Break.

Halloween!
Halloween is on Thursday, October 31st!
The students are allowed to wear their costumes to school! HOWEVER, costume props, masks, weapons, and anything gorey ARE NOT to come to school!
For your own sanity and mine, please adhere to the above request. Nothing is worse than having your student leave pieces of their costume at school and not being able to retrieve it because I have left for the day.
We will also be having a class party on this day! If you are a parent I have talked to or have already signed up to help, PLEASE be at the classroom at the following times:
AM 10:30
PM 2:00
Please be aware that this day WILL be "an adventure" we are allowing time to rotate students in costumes from activity to activity, that is why I am asking parents to come at the above times to set up, help, and then take down.
Just to make you aware, the HALLOWEEN PARADE begins at 9:30 AM, the afternoon class will have their own parade with our own special route that afternoon!
