You should have seen a paper titled Epic! in your child's folder today. Be sure to check this out! It's a new website that I will be soon linking to our google classroom. It is filled with free educational content! It would make a great resource at home for when your child has "screen time". It has books to read, audiobooks, and educational and how-to videos. Be sure to check it out using our login code that is listed on the paper. This is not meant to take the place of Reading Counts or anything else, jsut a fun way to supplement and make reading even more exciting!
sub tomorrow
Just to let you know--I will be out of the classroom tomorrow. I will actually be at school, just in a high ability teacher training meeting all day. :) Mrs. Sanders will be the sub, and if you don't know her, she does a great job! The class will be in good hands. :) I have told them not to try to quiz on their multiplication facts. I will take care of those on Thursday. Also, if you have any transportation changes, please send a note to Mrs. Sanders, or call the office so they can send a note down at the end of the day. I'm not sure how much email access I will have. See you Thursday!

High Ability
Here is what we are working on in our high ability unit this week:
Creekside is holding its annual Muffins with Mom events on Wednesday, November 7th and on Friday, November 9th. These events are free. Because we believe turn-out will be large, we have two events:
- Cub Academy, K-2 students with moms - Wednesday
, November 7th from 7:00-7:30 AM - 3-4 students with moms - Friday, November 9th from 7:00-7:30 AM
Both mornings will be in our gym.
We ask that moms try to attend the event that corresponds with their child's current grade level. However, moms that have children in more than one grade may choose the event that works the best for their schedule and attend one event with their children. Also, if one event works better than the other, moms can attend either event with their son or daughter.
The menu will be muffins and fruit along with fruit juice and coffee.
Please RSVP to attend at https://goo.gl/forms/
