Enjoy the super long break from school!
I'm excited to connect with your families these next two days during Fall Teacher Conferences. Do you know when folks from your family are planning to meet with me? Share with them something you are proud of from Term 1 and a goal you have for Term 2. Talk to them after the conference. Reflect on the positive and consider the areas where you can continue challenging yourself to grow.
Fall Teacher Conferences Sign-Up
During conferences, Gillian is looking for volunteer support with her Recycled Book Sale. Consider supporting her with an awesome event and getting some Term 2 service by signing up through the link on the service blog http://servicesunnyside.blogspot.com/.
