I can’t wait to
see everyone next week at conferences! I
sent a conference reminder home with your child on Tuesday. If you have forgotten your conference time,
Maria has my schedule in the office. You can give her a quick call and she will
let you know what time your conference is on Monday or Tuesday. Please remember these conferences are just
for parents and guardians. If you have
to bring your child with you, they can read from their book box in the hall
while we are meeting.
Our prize box is
getting a little low. If you would like
to donate prizes for our prize box it would be very much appreciated. Prizes should not be over a dollar. Examples include Matchbox cars, bubbles,
Play-Doh, Dollar Store toys, kid’s meal prizes, ect. Students earn prizes for
getting 15 row points, 30 Dojo points in a week, or for their birthday.
