Show & Tell: Favorite Food Day: It’s really a fun potluck that year by year every 1st & 2nd graders looks forward to. The “Alumni” of our class always stand at the door and wish they were back in this classroom just for a day. Each child should bring a favorite food to share with everyone. No one should plan on getting hot lunch on Friday!

Next Church Appointment: November 21 the students are being asked to be part of the Richland Church Service. Thank you for bringing your student to the past two weekends of performances. I’ve heard many good comments about their singing. I know it’s an effort to go to all three churches in a short time, but we need to “showcase” our school to our constituent churches.

BOOK-IT READING: Continue encouraging your student to read 60 minutes a week. There are only a few days to finish the 240 minutes of reading for the pizza certificate this month. Please return your October calendar on Monday, November 2.

PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES: Remember there will be half days of school on Wednesday, November 4 & Thursday, November 5. Conference schedules will be sent home on Friday. If you’ve forgotten to sign up for a conference, please contact Mrs. Hibbs in the office.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUN-YU: Sun-Yu turns 7 on November 3! Happy Birthday!

Pencils & Glue sticks: Many children are running out of pencils and glue sticks. My supply here in the classroom is limited. Please check with your student and see if he/she needs replacements. Thanks to those who’ve already sent a new supply of pencils.

Pumpkin Patch Adventure: Thank you to the parents who made our trip possible! The rain held off until we returned to the school. We thanked God for that!

SPELLING CITY.COM: Please check out a really cool website for the students to use to practice their spelling words. 1. Go to tcja.org 2. Click on my picture which will link you to my blog. 3. On the right hand side scroll down to the education links. 4. Click on the last one which is called Spelling List Games. 5. It will take you directly to the lists set up for my classroom. Thank you, Sonja Knight, for finding the site and for setting up the lists for us each week.

The students are practicing spelling in the computer lab each Thursday afternoon using this site.
