Friday will be our "Trunk or Treat" day after school.  This is hosted by our GFFA group and everyone is invited.  Please send a bag of wrapped candy to your class.  Bring your Grizzly dressed and ready to get treats from 4-5 Friday.  When the candy runs out it is over, so please send candy our way and make sure your student has a bag or some kind of container to put the treats in.  We had a great time last year, but the candy ran out QUICKLY!

Parent conferences were wonderful!  THANK YOU for sharing your students with me and for coming to discuss their progress.  Continue to read for 20 minutes EVERY night.  Reading can be by the parent, by the child or even by an older sibling.  Three ways to read a good book? 1.  Read the pictures 2.  Sound out and stretch the words 3.  Retell the story from your "smart brain"
