Reminders & Notes…
Turn your clocks back this weekend…
it’s Daylight Saving Time!!!!
Parent teacher conferences on Wednesday, November 8th from 1-6:00. If you gave me an email address at the beginning of the year, I sent you a link to sign up for a conference time for your child. Keep in mind that conferences are only 10 minutes each, and I will need to stay on schedule in order to see each child’s parents in third grade. There is no extra time due to the number of students in this class. If you don’t have email, contact me on Remind or with a note and I will squeeze you in during one of my open times. I will confirm this time and write it in your child’s assignment notebook. See you then!
Spelling: Long i Patterns: i_e, ie, igh, ind

Book It: Turn in your reading minutes. Your sheet must have a parent signature. Reading will earn you a FREE personal pan pizza! A November calendar was sent home yesterday.
