Letters, Pollinators, Zucchinis & Buddies!
Letters, Pollinators, Zucchinis & Buddies!
We had another busy week in 3rd and 4th grade! Students sent home their first weekly letters, and the excitement was so sweet as they read the wonderful replies from family members.
We also wrapped up many beginning-of-year projects and assessments, learned about pollinators with Bee The Change, and enjoyed our annual Zucchini Relay! It was so much fun watching the students run with their enormous zucchinis.
Today, students also found out who their Kindergarten buddy will be for the year. The excitement on their faces was absolutely adorable!
Thank you, as always, for being such an important part of our classroom community. We are so grateful for your support and love as we begin another wonderful year together. Have a fantastic weekend!

Start Time for School
Just a friendly reminder that our school day begins at 7:50 a.m. If your child arrives after 7:50, they will be marked tardy.
If you drive your child to school, arriving between 7:30 and 7:45 gives them plenty of time to get settled and ready for our Morning Meeting. Starting our day together on time helps us make the most of this special time as a classroom community.
Thank you so much for helping your child start the day feeling calm, happy, and ready to learn!
October Conferences
I will be offering parent-teacher conferences in October. Please be on the lookout for the Google Form to fill out with your preferences for conference times. I will be sending it by email. Your requests will need to be submitted by Friday, October 2 at 8:00 AM so I have enough time to create the conference schedule.

Weekly Letters Home
Each week, your child will bring home their Weekly Letter in their folder. We will begin writing our letters on Thursday, with Friday available to finish them up as needed. Notebooks will come home Thursday or Friday, depending on when your child finishes their letter.
Your child will share things about their week and may sometimes ask you a question. Please do your best to read and respond to your child’s letter. This is a wonderful, authentic writing experience that gives students a chance to practice their writing while also reflecting on their week at school.
Please return your child’s notebook as soon as possible each week, and by Thursday morning at the latest so we have it ready for our next letter.
Thank you for taking the time to be part of this special writing routine!
