Team Mindcraft: Team Mindcrafters Daily Update

Conferences - It is time to sign up for parent teacher conferences which will be held on Mon. Nov. 21 and Tues. Nov. 22. Unfortunately, Mrs. Dressel and I do not have enough time slots to accommodate meeting with each family in both homerooms individually. Consequently, we are dividing up the students that we feel would most benefit from hearing from each of us. In some cases this means you will conference with your child's homeroom teacher, and in other cases not. Please know that Mrs. Dressel and I will be exchanging information prior to conferences so that you will receive information about your child's performance in all subjects. (In some cases, parents may be getting conference requests from both of us.) In addition, whenever possible, we will also try to involve Mrs. Gutierrez and Mrs. Pokrzywa in these conference times. (Mrs. Dammeier will schedule her conferences separately.) Look for a conference sign-up e-mail from either Mr. Pransky or Mrs. Dressel to follow this e-mail. Please feel free contact us if you have any questions about this.

Leaf Study. We are learning about plant classification and will be classifying trees and leaves for the next couple Science lessons. I have asked the students to bring in a leaf small enough that it can fit in a sandwich baggie by Friday. Students may bring in more than one as long as the leaves are from different trees and they fit in the bag.
