TGIF!

Field Trip
Our field trip to the Indianapolis Zoo is Friday, October 7th.  In your child's folder on MONDAY you will find a blue permission slip for info.  Money and permission slips will be due Monday, October 3.  If you can chaperone, please pay and indicate on the blue form.  You can read more details on the permission slip itself, but I did want to be sure to invite any parents or grandparents who would like to chaperone to be sure to indicate that on the paper.  We need as many chaperones as we can get for the trip.  Please be sure that you also come to Creekside to get a background check sometime before the week of the field trip.  Thanks so much for your help!  It will be a fun day! 


Halloween Program
Mark your calendars for the Kindergarten Halloween program!  An "official" invitation will be coming home soon, but until then mark your calendars for Thursday, October 27 from 6-7 pm.  Kindergartners will come dressed in Halloween costumes and put on a performance for families and friends! 


Operation Bundle Up
Operation Bundle Up to help needy children get warm coats for the winter is underway.  September 14th-October 3rd, please consider donating any gently used, outgrown coats to school to donate.  You can drop them off in the bin outside the office, or send them to class with your child.

Superkids Test
We completed our first Progress Test for Superkids in reading groups today.  Overall, we did really well!  I still have a few sections to finish with a few kids.  When I have them completed and graded, I will send them home one day next week.  If you have any questions, please let me know!

Parent Teacher Conferences (also known as Creekside Family Conferences!)
In your child's folder MONDAY you will find a yellow sign up sheet for parent-teacher conferences that will be held October 19th and 20th.  Please sign up your preference for a time to come meet with me to discuss your child's progress, and return to school as soon as possible.  It will be no problem giving everyone their first choice of day, but please understand you may not get your top choice of times.  I will do my best to accommodate each family, but with 22 children and many having the same top three choices, it just isn't possible.  But I promise to get as close to your time as I can.  I will give preference first to those who turn their forms in sooner!  Our goal is 100% parent participation, so let's make it happen for our class!

Green Goggles
Today in Superkids our Read Aloud story was called Gregory's Green Goggles.  We even made our own green goggles to wear while listening to the story!  Ask your child tonight about Gregory's missing green goggles and where he found them!


Have a great weekend!
