Update for September 24

It's been a hectic week in Room 17! Here are some updates/reminders for the coming weeks:

* Fourth Grade Math Club starts next Friday, Oct. 1 - if your child is still interested, but hasn't returned the permission form, please do so by next week. Math Club is taught during lunch from 12:00 - 12:40, so please try to have your child's lunch brought to school by 12:00, which is when they eat at Math Club.

* Your child brought home information and appointment times assigned to you for parent/teacher conferences. Please return the attached "feedback form" and the signed bottom section which shows that you are aware of the conference time. If the time assigned is NOT convenient for you, please send back the form with some alternative times you might be available. Although conferences are usually in the afternoon, I also can possibly squeeze in a few before school on conference days. This year, I am asking you to BRING YOUR CHILD TO THIS CONFERENCE. They are now old enough to participate in setting their own goals and are a vital part of the conference.

* Book reports will be assigned next week and your child must find a book in the genre of "historical fiction" of at least 100 pages or more. (no picture books). They can find these books in our class library, the GLC library, or in your community library. I must approve the book by next Friday.

* Don't forget - WalkAround is next Saturday, Oct. 2 from 1 - 6 PM! Please try to come with your child for at least part of the day, and remember that this year you only have to bring the bottom section of your child's sponsor card in order to get the lap card - you can keep the top part and turn that in by Oct.18 with the money collected from sponsors. We still need volunteers and donations, too! Aloha!
