October 15th - 19th

Conference Week!
School will dismiss two hours early all week. Announcements will officially start at 12:20 and students will dismiss immediately following. Our specials this week are on the normal rotation but our time will be from 9:45-10:15 and our lunch time will be from 11:15-11:45. This week I plan to pull at least one reading group a day and get into some new books  from our book room. In Math we will be taking a final Quarter 1 Math Assessment that is a combination of everything we learned in the first quarter and then begin our unit on graphing. If we can find some time to squeeze in Science I plan on taking the class outside to investigate magnetic objects around the school.

A few reminders about Conference Week
- Please write a note in your child's agenda or red folder for any dismissal changes. I can't accept any emailed changes and most likely won't be checking my email until after all of my conferences each day.
- If you forget when your conference time is the day of you can call the school and ask. The front office has a copy of all teachers conference schedules.
- Please bring your child with you to their conference! At Addison we hold "student led" conferences. Your child has prepared a Leadership Notebook with data and work samples that they will share with you.
- Students should still come to school with a healthy snack each day.
- Students will receive a new homework packet Monday like usual and will also receive a new spelling menu. You can toss out the one from quarter 1 and use the new one until quarter 3.

If you have any questions or concerns before we meet please let me know. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing everyone this week!
