Happy 4 day weekend!
I hope this post finds you well, as for me I'm taking refuge in a cafe between rainy soccer games! 

Conferences - Please sign up if you haven't or contact me for an alternate time. Even if you have recently had a conference with me, you can come again! There will be student work on display where you can get a glimpse of your child's life at school. I will be sending home Parent Homework on Tuesday! Please send it back with your child by Friday so I can best prepare for our conference.

I'm looking forward to this week with our class as we round the bend on the Forest Storyline. We'll begin thinking about the FOREST FESTIVAL - DEC 7th where we will celebrate all our learning and show off our amazing projects! It is an excellent opportunity for students to earn School Service as well. This week we will NOT travel on Thursday, instead I am considering going to lunch with students on Belmont. Students should bring some money to buy lunch or a sack lunch to enjoy off campus! If you were going to chaperone anyway, I would certainly welcome you! If it is not raining we will journey up to the Food Carts on 45th, if it is, we'll stay near 34th. We'll leave at 11:30 and plan on 45min -1 1/2 depending on where we go.

Due Tuesday:
Heartwood Writing - This should be 2-3 paragraphs where the student shares his/her fondest memories. Tell the story of it 2-3 memories....There is a great example on the heart brainstorm 1/2 sheet - as well as questions on the bottom to help guide students.

Fantasy #7 - Students should be caught up on all reading, have reading comp book caught up with 2-3 post-it questions and 1 golden line for each section read. We'll be wrapping up the Fantasy books this week!

Due Friday: Parent Homework! (kids go ahead and tease your parents that your teaching is sending homework even to them:)

That's it for now, I'm off to the cold and wet soccer field! 
I'll be posting this week's homework soon, we're going to be busy!
