Good Morning,
Yesterday Charlotte and Liza presented their journaling that they did on their recent trips. Charlotte talked to us about a goat named Rambo, Fort Knox, and her time on the coast. Liza talked about her experience as a flower girl and the fun dancing that she was part of at the reception. This year, when your child travels (misses school), he/she will be asked to keep a
journal of his/her trip and continue to read from his/her reading book. Upon returning from the trip, he/she will present their experience during our morning meeting. I will also ask that the parents set up a time to meet (after your vacation) to make a plan on catching your student up with the missed work. The September 8th blog posting briefly outlined this plan.

We continue to work on both our Family writes and our pen-pal letters. The students are almost finished with the pen-pal letters and we hope to mail them by Friday. During math, we have been working a lot on problem solving and learning how to describe your thinking and represent it with an equation. This has been a real challenge for many and you may hear some +/- discussions about this process.
I appreciate all of the feedback on the Parent Night idea. After reviewing the input, I have decided not to hold a formal night. If you would like to meet sometime after school, please let me know (Wednesdays work best for this).
We will have a short Fire Prevention assembly on Friday morning and then visit the trucks and rescue workers in the school parking lot.
Have a great day.
Peace,
Tom
