Book Parade Books
I forgot to remind the kids to bring their book parade books to school on Monday. So sorry!
Next Week
We are going to have a Science Test on Wednesday next week over rocks. We have been studying the different kinds of rocks for the past few weeks. On Monday, we are going to do a couple of reviews that will be sent home. In addition to the reviews, they will be able to use the science book to answer the questions!
Book Parade: Looks like we are going to be starting a 1:45 on Friday afternoon. I look forward to seeing everyone's costumes and props! If possible, send the chosen books to school on Monday since we will be using these books next week to continue our character unit.
Have a great weekend!

Yearbook Orders
Yearbook Orders are due TOMORROW! If you've lost it, there is one on the CES website that you can download. The Yearbook Cover Contest pictures are also due tomorrow. I've turned in all the order forms and contest drawings that have been turned in.
Writing
First of all, thank you so much for your sweet notes and thoughts! Matt and I are ecstatic! I have been waiting to share this news with all of you! (For those of you that I saw at Beach Club yesterday ... I was exhausted and my stomach was starting to do flip-flops inside me. Thank you for coming over to celebrate with me!)
Second, in the excitement of yesterday, I forgot to explain the writing scores that came home in Wednesday folders yesterday. Since they wrote their stories on notebook paper, the stories themselves do no copy very well. I have posted the stories outside the classroom. You are free to come and read these ANYTIME you want to! Please let me know if you have any questions about these grades. Writing uses a different part of our brains than any other school work that we do! I am so proud of the hard work that everyone put into their stories!!

Monday's Announcements!
Calendars: Our calendars are here! I'm going to label them and get them ready for you! Your child will keep the calendar in their take home folder. I will staple a "Key for Minor Behavior Violations" to the front inside cover of the calendar. Each student will be responsible to write down their daily homework assignments and up coming events. Please check your child's calendar to monitor behavior or assignment issues.
Newsletter: This week's newsletter is on my DragonSpace! Make sure to check this as well as the calendar to keep track of upcoming events and assignments.
Writing Celebration Tomorrow: We are having a small, in class writing celebration. As the year goes on, these will grow bigger and bigger, but tomorrow's celebration is going to be just the class. I have a couple that haven't finished publishing. I will be here around 7:30 tomorrow morning if they want to come in and work on it.
Book Parade Information:
On Friday, October 29, CES will have a book parade. Your child is encouraged to dress up like a favorite book character. Their character needs to be from a book they have read, either at home or at school. All clothing must be in accordance with school dress code. Your child may carry the book and a prop with them if they would like to. (We will make posters together in class, but these will not be a part of the book parade! The posters WILL be a part of our character study during Reader's Workshop!)
