For the month of November our science theme will be Light and Sound. Remember to help your child count their completed pages in their Home Reading books and to let me know when they reach 25. Many students have already received their prize for completing 25 pages and are now working toward 50. Thanks to the many parents who have been adding comments to their child’s Freshgrade portfolio. Keep in mind that this portfolio has replaced the traditional report card. I hope that parents set aside some time once or twice a week to review the portfolio with their child so that you will stay informed of how your child is doing in school. Also, thanks for keeping the Halloween treats at home and continuing to send fruit for your child’s snack. Below are the highlights for the month of November.
