Good morning parents and guardians,
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a wonderful break. We welcomed a new member to our home this fall break. My husband and I are caregivers for a company called Fostering Hope. He is a young man with special needs. We are so excited to have him join our family. He is all moved in and happy to join us at Trunk or Treat night where we plan to have a trunk setup. I look forward to fall and lots of pumpkins and spice. I spent my break cooking and baking pumpkin treats.
If you have pictures that you can share from your fall break please send them via email. Students love to be showcased in the morning and having pictures help others to visualize the experiences.
This week I am sending home another book order for October from Scholastic. Book orders are due by Oct. 14th.
We will be having a Spelling Bee this year at Simis. Students that want to participate will duel with each other in our classroom to be picked the top two and a runner up to compete against others in our grade level later this month. Encourage your child to participate if they are naturally great at spelling or you have worked hard on spelling in the past. I will announce the winners next week.
Parent-teacher conferences are next Wed, Thurs, and Friday. The Sign Up Genius was sent to sign up but if those times don’t work for you and your schedule please contact me. We can work out other times.
If you have any other questions please let me know. Have a great week.
