Reflections!

This week has been a very short week at school, but one that was full of fun and learning and of course your week is never complete without a field trip. Thank you to the parents who went on the field trip and helped to keep the children safe as we walked down Memorial and assisted them in selecting the pumpkins. They had lots of fun finding their own pumpkins!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone next week. Take care of yourselves and remain healthy.

Mr. O'Quinn

An Exciting Week Ahead!

What a GREAT week we had last week with the Fall Festival at the end of the week. I think everyone had FUN!!

Don't forget we go to the library Monday morning and everyone needs to bring library books back.

Monday will also hold other first including everyone will checking out a book from the classroom library and all students will receive a homework backpack that they will keep and return on Friday along with the book checked out from the classroom. Please spend 20-30 minutes per night on homework, including reading.

Please help your child gain independence by:
1. reminding them to put folders in their backbacks,
2. letting them walk to the classroom alone in the morning, and
3. reminding them of library books.

Thank you all for the help you have given us in the classroom. We NEVER could manage computer lab time without parent volunteers. Also thenks to those who have come and read to the students they love having you come.

If anyone has time in the next two weeks, I will need someone to make some diecuts, some to cut out lamination and copies that need to be made. Please let me know when and if you can come and I will have everything ready.

Looking forward to a wonderful week.
Mr. O'Quinn

Busy Week Coming!

Sorry I didn't get to finish out last week with you, but I am feeling much better now.

We will continue reading and learning about colors and Birthday Celebrations and begin writing and reading about families.

If you have not sent in the collage of your family please send them in this next week.

I am looking forward to see everyone at Open House on September 22nd. Please bring your calendar and be prepared to sign up for a Parent-Teacher Conference.


Let's have a GREAT week.
See you tomorrow.
