Hello Parents,
Happy wonderful fall weather, no?! Wow!  I hope you enjoyed your weekend.
[]  This week our plant experiment is beginning to show signs of life.  Ask your student what he/she has observed and what variable they are investigating.
[]  We will be starting our spelling unit about prefixes and suffixes.  The test will be early next week - look for a spelling list to come home over the weekend.
[]  Next Thursday, October 22, we will be heading down to Santa Fe to visit the historic Rancho de las Golondrinas.  This trip will help bring New Mexico history alive for the kids and should be a fun, interactive day.  If you would like to join us on this trip, please drop me an email.  I have 1 parent volunteer chaperon already, and I'm looking for 2 more to help us.  Students will need to bring a sack lunch.
[] Parent-teacher conferences are Friday, October 29th, all day.  Please stop by the classroom to sign up or drop me an email and I will sign you up in an available spot.
[]  Please remember to send snacks that are already prepared.  I do not have knives, plates or other kitchen items in class.  Also, our 'back up snack' drawer is getting low.  If you have forgotten to send a snack in the past, please send us a back up snack that I can save for the next time someone forgets. Many thanks,
Kelly
