Bee Bop & Parent Conferences

Hello!

Apologies for not posting a weekly update last week.  I was busy running with all of the other students and teachers during my planning time for Brownsville's annual BEE BOP.  It was great to get outside and run around with the 2nd and 3rd graders!

Some important dates to share:

October 19th-October 30th (next two weeks) is the window for Parent-Teacher Conferences.  A link to a sign up genius (online sign up website) went out on Friday.  Please email me at jbalnave@k12albemarle.org if you aren't able to sign up online, or if you would like a different day than those offered (M/T/Th/F).

October 23rd will be the last official day of the 1st Quarter of the school year.

We will be taking a cumulative 1st Quarter Math Test on Friday, 10/23.  The test will include questions related to our study of graphing, time, place value, and rounding.

We are also working hard to complete finished writing products by the end of this week.  Students have the choice of using "final writing paper" or typing their stories on a laptop and printing them out.

Also, just a friendly reminder that this year our report cards will be going out electronically (on Parent Portal) unless requested otherwise.  Report Cards will be available in early November.

Finally, a reminder that with Autumn months come Autumn temperatures.  Thanks to everyone for helping to make sure our students are dressed warmly for school!  We play outside every day, weather permitting.

It is officially Fall!  Almost time to start making Leaf Print T-Shirts!

Have fun!

- Mr. B
