I enjoyed meeting with you and having a face to face conversation about your child. You have given me insight that will help me in the classroom. Please let me know if you ever have concerns, or need further clarification, about any issue. The education of your child, at its best, is truly a partnership.
This coming week will be another busy one. I probably say that every week, but it's true. Fourth graders are an active group. The pumpkins are due on Monday. If you are able, please come inside this week and have a look. I'm always amazed! The children are usually very proud when the finished product is their own work.
Our Ft. Toulouse field trip is this Friday, Nov. 4th. We will leave the school after lunch, about 12:00. I hope we have nice weather and you enjoy the afternoon. If you have never been to Frontier Days, it is a treat. When you see the area with the presenters and hear the cannons firing, it is almost a glimpse back in time.
I look forward to seeing you on Friday, if not before.
