Dear Parents,
Next week I will be teaching a mini-unit on bullying. I like to teach this topic on the week of Halloween because being bullied can be scary! We will culminate this unit with a fictional movie on the topic of bullying on Friday, October 31st. A yellow permission slip regarding this movie is enclosed in your envelope. Please sign and return it to school no later than Thursday, October 30th. Any students who do not have a signed permission slip will be given an alternative assignment in another room during the movie.
Your child took his/her 2's test today. Please note that I do not send these tests home. I will let the students know who passed the test and who needs to retake the 2's next week. Please check-in with your child and find out how the test went today!
Mrs. McLoud
