Hello Crew,
I hope the weekend was fantastic! I had my whole clan, including my mom, in town to celebrate birthdays for my two youngest grandkids born a day apart (plus 3 years). A great weekend indeed! Here’s Raya and Teo with their cousin Aurelia who just turned 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few notes to get you going:<\/strong>
1) Book Fair this week.<\/strong> Here’s info I already shared with you via email on Oct 1:
Schedule for each of the grades to preview the book fair & write their wish lists on Monday, 7th October:<\/strong><\/em>
8:15-8:35       Fourth Grade 
8:35-8:55       First Grade
8:55-9:15       Second Grade
9:45-10:05     Third Grade
10:05-10:25   Kindergarten
10:25-10:45   Fifth Grade<\/em>

After CT schedule for the week\u2014please note your time:
–Tuesday, 8th October<\/strong>, after Community Time for 30 minutes: Grades 2 and 4<\/strong> are invited to shop the book fair<\/em>
–Wednesday, 9th October<\/strong>, after Community Time for 30 minutes: Kindergarten and 1st grade<\/strong> are invited to shop the book fair<\/em>
–Thursday, 10th October<\/strong>, after Community Time for 30 minutes, Grades 3 and 5<\/strong> are invited to shop the book fair<\/em>
–Friday, 11th October<\/strong>, after Community Time for 30 minutes, anyone who was not able to attend <\/strong>earlier in the week is invited to shop the book fair<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, we invited teachers to shop for their classrooms when school opened on Tuesday morning, but few showed up. Teachers can create their wish list on Tuesday morning (before school starts) of you can shop during first Choice Time on Monday 7th October. You can grab any books you’d like, and Angela. can check them out using the Scholastic Dollars that the school has already accrued to get free books for their classroom libraries. (Is there a specific teacher that might also like to shop for books to add to the school library in the hallway?) You could also shop during your class’s preview that day, or Angela is open to other suggestions, but we have over $2600 credit going into this fair, so you are STRONGLY encouraged to get lots of books for your classrooms!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can shop directly online at this site: https:\/\/bookfairrewards.scholastic.com\/<\/a>. You can add any books you want to your individual Wish lists, which have already been set up for you, then Patti or Angela can approve the purchase. Teachers should have received a reminder email from Scholastic with their individual links 2 weeks ago.<\/em>

2) Outdoor Education trips this week for Grades 2\/3\/4\/5<\/strong>, please make sure you have permission slips signed!

3) Our new counselor, Libby, starts next Monday.

4) Harvest Festival is Saturday, October 19. I’ve sent several notes to parents with a link to volunteer. It would be great if you could include this in your weekly communications as well. Here’s the link: Harvest Festival 2024<\/a> or here is the link without a hyperlink: https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1vbvuUMQaFgYgBX8V4BVXLTivzM6kQtWDMmNiIto0usY\/edit<\/a>

4) Conversations<\/em> are coming up in a few weeks.<\/strong> A few quick notes:
*Be sure to get info out to parents sooner than later as many of them will likely be leaving town as it will be a 5 day weekend.
*The district-wide expectations for Conversations<\/em> are as follows:
~Tues, Oct 29, 3:15 to 7:15pm
~Wed, Oct 30, 3:15-7:15pm (the rest of the day is a teacher work day)
~Thurs, Oct 31, 7:15-3:15pm

If you choose to use your teacher work time on Wednesday to do some (or many) of your Conversations<\/em> you can alter your schedule accordingly. It’s important that, at a minimum, you offer several evening times for parents who are not able to take off work.

5) Bread and Jam this Friday after school!

Here’s to a great week ahead!
