this months moral focus. We have talked to

the students about things that they are grateful

for and how to appreciate what we have in our

lives, not to take items or people for granite.Students are making a gratitude jar over the

course of the month to list things they

appreciate in life and are happy for.

We encourage you to talk to your student at

home about their class gratitude jar.

moved on from their first rough draft to

their second, editing one anothers papers

with the correct editing symbols and signs.

different stages until the final copy is turned

in. The final paper will be due Wednesday

Change in Middle School Conferences!!

Due to your students seeing different teachers for all subje

areas this year you have the opportunity to choose what

teacher you would like to see. It does NOT have to be youchilds homeroom teacher. However, you may only sign

up with one teacher you cannot make three differentconferences because that would take away from others.

Please remember that conferences are only 10 minuteto accommodate the teachers seeing more than theirhomeroom class. You can sign up for these at the office.

Conference sheets are coming home with your studentoday. Please make sure that you return them as soon as

possible so that we can prepare for your conference. Thanyou.
