This 'N That

TGIF!  We had a great time celebrating the completion of the Iowa Assessment tests (ITBS) this afternoon.  Students loved the movie version of James and the Giant Peach, and were able to identify quite a few differences between the book and the movie.

• It was good to touch base with many of you this week at p/t conferences, and we look forward to meeting with the rest of you next week. If you are unsure of your conference time, please contact your child's homeroom teacher.

• We will be celebrating American Education Week, November 13 - 19 by dressing up on the following days:
 Monday - wear your favorite sweatshirt
 Wednesday - wear red/white/blue
 Friday - wear black/gold

• The Scholastic Book fair will be open through Tuesday, November 15.  Students may purchase books before school or during library time on Monday.  Parents may also purchase books on Tuesday evening during p/t conferences.  Remember, books make great incentive and rewards and are inexpensive gifts. Thanks for supporting our library program through the book fair!
