Buck A Book

The PTO is hosting a "Buck A Book" book fair during conferences this year. All books will be on sale for $1. In order for this to be successful, we need book donations. If you have any gently used books at home, please consider donating them for this fundraiser. All proceeds will go directly to the Kittredge Library! Thank you for all your support!

End of 1st Quarter

I can't believe tomorrow marks the end of 1st quarter! We have learned so much over the last nine weeks! Just a reminder...

• report cards will be sent home Friday, November 6th. 
• parent conferences will be held Tuesday, November 10th. I will send home information about signing up for conferences in your child's report card (this is only if you did not sign up at open house)
• if you signed up for a conference at open house, I will remind you of your time on your child's report card. 
• your child's reading and writing "grade" will be different this year. There will be an information packet in your child's report card which explains this. We can also discuss this during our conferences. I will be happy to answer any and all questions! Even if I have to go and search out an answer :)

There will be a lot of information coming home in your child's report card. Please don't be overwhelmed! I will help you to understand it all during our conference!

Practice Lock Down Drill

This morning we had a practice lock down drill. Students moved quickly and quietly to the safe area in our classroom and we received a nice compliment from the police officers when they unlocked our door and let us out of the practice drill. We had a great discussion about the different types of lock down drills and how to be safe and what to do to be safe in all different types of situations!
