October 15th-19th

We had another great week of learning. Please remember that there are exactly 2 weeks of the nine weeks left. Please check Home Access to see your child's most current grades. All missing work and grades below 70 can and should be turned in or corrected!

Reminders:
  • Tuesday is School Spirit Day - It's color day to celebrate differences. Each grade level is assigned a different color, 4th grade is blue! Encourage your child to participate!
  • Wednesday is Fall Picture Day! Be sure you have sent any orders to school and also make sure they dress to impress in their picture!
  • Thursday is International Fair from 5:30-7:30. This is one of the best events we have at WBE. It's a time for the whole family to experience food, music, crafts, and more from countries around the world. WBE parents, staff, and local vendors will be hosting booths and introducing that culture to everyone that attends. I will definitely be there and you should be too!
  • We will be attending the Science Lab on (orange) Thursday 8-8:40 and (blue) Friday 1:40-2:25. If you would like to come help, please let me know. We will be working on mixtures and solutions, creating and separating them. 
  • In 2 weeks, we will have another classroom Multiplication Bee. I need to be sure that everyone is continuously practicing their facts, and a friendly competition usually motivates them. 
  • Thank you to all of the parents that attended conferences last week. I really appreciate your support.
  • Also thank you to everyone who donated materials for our science lessons this week! Be sure to ask your students why we used them.
