The first quarter ended on Friday, which means I've been busy working on progress reports. Those should come home with the children - I'll try to remember to send an email when they are put in backpacks so you can look for those. Please be sure to call the office and schedule your parent/teacher conferences for next Wednesday, November 12. There is no school for the children that day, so be sure to plan ahead for childcare.
The "wildlife in residence" AKA the crickets were a big hit. Some children thought their chirping was too loud, but many appreciated how soothing it was. It was a nice way for the children to take a look up close. Did you know that crickets can eat dog food? They enjoyed that and brussel sprouts and some apples.
Please be sure to visit the Book Fair while you are in school next week. The children will have their preview day on Thursday and their wish lists will come home in the Friday folders. There is also an online option for shopping.
Last week we had a situation with a school bus not showing up until 5:00. While trying to sort it out, we found many children struggled with knowing home phone and cell phone numbers by heart. Please, please, please practice with your child - I know it's harder with multiple phone numbers, but this is an important safety rule that should not be overlooked. Knowing parents' full names, home and cell numbers and full address is well worth the time and effort.
This week's Spelling words are...end, camp, thank, sing, drink, hunt, stand, long, thump, hand, think, bring, jump, went, young, friend and WOW is coming.
Finally, we go outside for recess as often as possible, even when it's cold! Please be sure your child is dressed for the weather. Please email me atmlbuster@torahacademy.org with any questions or concerns.
