Conferences on Monday, Nov. 23rd and Tuesday, Nov. 24th

Has your 3rd grader been reading at home every night?  We do not send a homework assignment home each week, but we do send a reading log home with each student on a monthly basis.  We would like students to spend a minimum of 20 minutes each night reading a book or magazine of their choice.  The reading log goes home at the beginning of each month and is collected for a prize on the last day of each month.  

Reminder:

Conference times were sent home yesterday and we're looking forward to seeing all families during their scheduled time next Monday or Tuesday.  Students are encouraged to attend conferences with their families.  If you have a question about your students conference time please contact their teacher.
