First PTA Meeting!

Tonight kicked off the first PTA meeting of the school year and I was very excited to see 4 of our classmates come out with their parents to this very informative meeting. All 4 of them received a free homework pass to be used for an assignment of their choice. Way to go Nicholas, Jonathan, Melanie, & Shivan! Check out www.collinspta.net for more info on our awesome PTA!
Next week we will be learning about Johnny Appleseed as part of a unit on apples. Some of our activities will include: map skills of his route, making observations of an apple with skin and one without skin, measuring out ingredients to make homemade applesauce, as well as graphing favorite types of apples and apple creations. In order to accomplish these activities, I am asking each child to bring in 2 apples by Tuesday September 22nd. They sometimes have them in the lunchroom with the breakfast choices (for FREE) in case you forget to grab some this weekend.
I will also be sending out miderm grades next Wednesday. The official conference night isn't until November 10th. However I would be more than happy to meet with any of you prior to that if you want to discuss your child's progress. Tuesdays are not good because we have staff meetings. I can either do 2:30 to 3:00 PM on any other day or before school from 7:10 to 7:30 AM. Another option is a phone conference during those time slots. Simply jot me a note in your child's planner and we'll set it up!
Thank you so much for sharing your precious child with me, they're wonderful!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lewis
