October 2016

Can you believe it!?!?!?  October is right around the corner!  I am updating the blog a little early, since Baby Zenner could be making his appearance any time.  The kids are adjusting very nicely to school and have met Ms. Roxanne who will be the sub while I am on maternity leave.  They love her, and she is going to do a GREAT job!

We continue to work on following school rules and expectations and learning the routines of our days here.  The kiddos are working so hard!  Parent/Teacher conferences are right around the corner!  Conferences will take place next Friday, September 30th and Thursday, October 13th.  We look forward to meeting with each of you for your child's conference.  It is fun to share some of their work with you so that you can see the progress they've made in just a short time.  Please look for information in your child's folder regarding our first Families Being Involved workshop, as well as the Halloween parties, which will take place at the end of the month!
