October is here!

I would like to compliment everyone in our class for their hard work studying their multiplication facts. Everyone did a great job in our multiplication bee! This doesn't mean you don't have to practice anymore. We will continue using multiplication throughout the year, so continued practice is necessary!

Reminders:

- We will be having an illustrator, Cristy Crowder, visit on Monday. Order forms went home last Thursday for her books. Return those if you are interested in purchasing any.

- Library is on Wednesday. Be sure to bring your books back to return or renew.

- Thursday night is McTeacher's Night from 5-7pm. A percentage of all proceeds will be donated to WBE during those hours. Be sure to stop by and see some of the WBE staff serving your food!

- There is no school on Monday, October 10th due to parent conferences. Check the online form for your time. If you requested a phone conference, I will be calling you soon to either have the conference or if you are busy, we can set up a better time.

- We will be going to the Science Lab this Wednesday and on Wednesday, October 12th from 9-9:40. If you are interested in helping, let me know.

- International Fair is quickly approaching. It will be held on Thursday, October 20th. If you are interested in helping, contact Elda in the PTA to let her know.

- We are collecting Box Tops to raise money for the school. The class with the most wins a pizza party. Be sure to save all of your Box Tops and turn them in to me by October 25th.
