Hi All,

Thanks to all for your response regarding conferences. Just about all students have conferences scheduled for the week the district sets aside for these meetings. I will send home a reminder with your time 1-2 weeks prior to the actual date.

I am also sending home some important information this week. First of all, our field trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium is scheduled for December. We will not be able to get full authorization until I have the necessary drivers and insurance information formally submitted to the office. We are now required to attach your insurance information to our Field Trip Auhorization Forms.

 In addition, I'm sending home information about MobyMax. Our class membership has been generously sponsored by a family in the class, so your kids will now have access to this program at school and home. MobyMax can be accessed through a link on my blog. The kids began the math last week, and will work in other content areas in the near future. This program allows each kid to work on the skills they need, at any grade level!

Finally, thanks in advance to those of you who are able to help with our Halloween festivities, or are supporting them through your donation to the classroom "FUN'd".  The kids look forward to these special days. In addition, a reminder that there are many terrific at-home math activities associated with Halloween, such as counting pumpkin seeds and sorting candy!

Have a great week,
Carroll Mayer
