Parent Teacher Meetings

We will be having parent teacher meetings on Tuesday, November 3 from 3:30ish-7. If you haven't already received an email about it, it will be coming soon. I am having mine on a different night than the majority of the school so we can have the classroom to ourselves. It will be great chance for you to come in so your child can show you our classroom, for us to touch base, and for you or your child to ask me any questions you've been wondering about.

We really enjoyed ourselves at the Tin Soldier today. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures to share. For those of you who paid online for the field trip, the money will be refunded. All of the field trip fees for kindergarten are paid by the fees you paid when you registered.

Tomorrow is our Friday. The kids will be going to assembly in the morning, we will continue working on the letter C, and we will even put on our baker's hats to bake some chocolate chip cookies.

See you in the morning!
