Fall Book Study - Next Steps in Guided Reading
The class will meet four times between October 29 and December 4. Two sessions will be offered each week, one before school and one after school. You can attend either session or alternate mornings with afternoons based on your schedule. Please see the exact dates and times below:
Week 1: October 29 @ 7:30-8:15 OR October 30 @ 3:45-4:30
Week 2: November 5 @ 7:30-8:15 OR November 6 @ 3:45-4:30

Week 4: December 3 @ 7:30-8:15 OR December 4 @ 3:45-4:30
Participants will earn 8 hours of relicensure credit. The bulk of the time will be spent planning for a small group of struggling readers and applying resources in your classroom. Please indicate your interest in participating using this survey by Tuesday, October 22.
Halloween
Halloween breakfast parties will be held on Thursday, October 31st from 8:40-9:30 am. It is recommended that party treats by balanced with both nutritious options and sweets.
Our school parade will follow from 9:30-9:45 am. The parade route was put in your box last week. Students who do not wish to participate in Halloween activities can rejoin the class at 9:45. We will resume with a normal school day schedule at that time. If you have any questions about the route, please see Libby.
We encourage students to be creative with their costumes, but safety remains our number one priority. We ask students to adhere to the following guidelines when selecting a costume:
* Students should come dressed in their costume and bring a change of clothes.
* Costumes cannot be demeaning, offensive or promiscuous.
* Face paint, face masks and weapons are not permitted.
