Room 100 Happenings

Conferences
I enjoyed meeting with EACH family this week! Thank you for coming. If you got home and realized you forgot to ask me something, please do not hesitate to set up another meeting, phone call or time to talk.

Reading, Writing, Math (and all that other stuff we do!)
Hopefully conferences gave you an idea of what we are doing in the classroom and how you can help. I am very pleased with the progress the students are making and I know you have been working hard at home to support our efforts.

Halloween
Thanks to those of you who volunteered to help with the party. It will be just right. Remember that students will change into their costumes AT LUNCH time. Please do not send your child to school in a costume. We will have PE that day, so don't forget gym shoes. If you are helping with the party or will be home that day, it is helpful to have your child go home to eat and change. I can't wait to help the children who stay at school change into costumes, so do not feel like your child will be stranded if you can't help that day. We will be eating lunch one hour later than usual-from 12:00-1:00. Tammy Schulz will provide a small snack to get them through gym and the extra hour!

Mayflower
Your child will receive his/her Mayflower assignments and directions next week with the homework. Please read these over carefully and let me know if you have any questions.

Zero Waste Lunch
Beye School is trying to have a zero waste lunch day this coming Wednesday. Please help your child pack a zero waste lunch. If your child will be getting hot lunch that day, talk to her about only taking packets of things she really needs and how to dispose of them.
