Weekly Update
Today I finished the last of the testing!!!!!!! Next week we will start to switch for Literacy and Math. We will be sending home, in next week's Weekly Folder, how they did on their testing and what like-ability class they will be in for Literacy and Math. Next Tuesday night, for Curriculum Night, you will get to meet your child's Literacy and Math teacher. At conferences in October we will go over their specific tests.
This week in class we will be finishing our Friendship Unit and starting our Autonomous Learner Unit. We will be continuing this unit throughout the year every Wednesday afternoon during Wednesday Workshop. In this unit we will be working on developing our character traits as well as learning more about ourselves as learners and what it means to be gifted. This is a great unit and I look forward to sharing it with you at Curriculum Night!

Homework This Week
Yes, there is homework this week! In their white Weekly Folder you should have seen a paper sac with a note attached to it. This is not due until Friday, but students can bring it in early if they so desire : )
Dress Code and Illnesses
Please remember that students can not wear flip flops, and shoulder straps should be three inches wide.
As a reminder, if your child is sick (peuked) within the last 24 hours, they can not come to school. So, if they get sick in the middle of the night, help us all stay healthy and keep them home : )
Thank you for helping us remember our school policies located in your Community Handbook : )
Final Thoughts
Hoping you all had an awesome three day weekend. Enjoy the lovely fall air this week... my favorite time of the year : )
