Dear Parents,

     We have completed the first quarter of the year. You have wonderful, hard-working children and I have enjoyed getting to know each one of them.

    I am working to complete the report card for the first nine weeks. The children will bring their cards home on Thursday. Please sign and return both the white signature card and envelope.

    The children will receive a grade sheet to keep in their take home folder. Hopefully, this will help them understand the averaging process.

    Please remember the supplies and little pumpkin for the 28th. Thanks for all your help! See you soon.

Wednesday, September 30

Dear Parents,

Where has September gone? The first quarter of school is almost over. We have had a great beginning of school. The children are working hard.  They did a wonderful job presenting their Civil War Reports.

We will transform pumpkins the last week of October. Please help your child pick out a pumpkin that is no bigger than his/her head. Please send in the supplies your child will need to make his/her pumpkin look nothng like a pumpkin. If you would like to help please let me know. It was fun last year!!

Civil War Day went smoothly and the children had a good time. A special thanks to the parents who helped 200 children make canteens.

Academically, we are completing our Science Unit and will have a  test the week of October 12th. We will also be having a Math Benchmark test the same week.

Thanks for all you do!!

Mrs. Griffin
