Red Ribbon Week was a blast. We had fun dressing up all week, and the assembly with the drug dogs was informative and fun.
On Wednesday will be our Halloween Party. Thank you to those who are helping with it. I am excited. Students can wear costumes to school, they must follow school dress code and must not interfere with their ability to do school work.
Also, with the weather changing please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. We try to go outside whenever possible during the winter months for recess. They need a chance to run and play in the fresh air (so do we) during the day, it helps them to focus better when we are in class. If it is cold outside and your child doesn't have a coat, they are cold and miserable outside.
I have also noticed that many students aren't doing very well on their spelling tests. Please make sure that you practice their spelling words at home. We don't have a lot of time to practice them during the day at school. Also, I am going to start watching for no extra capitals in the sentence AND letters formed correctly (not backwards) as part of the legible point on the test.
