	We will be having a reading incentive party on Tuesday.  All students who read 375 minutes or more for October are welcome to join us.  There are some students who are not reading 15 minutes every day.  Reading every night is part of their homework, and helps them to become fluent readers.  Please remember to sign your child’s planner every night.
	We are sending home parent conference time preference sheets today.  Please indicate your top two times and return the sheets tomorrow.
	What a great team!  We are enjoying all the brain power and personalities.  Ask your child what his/her Native American name is.
	Have a great long weekend.  The kids have been working so hard, they deserve it!
 We are participating in a school-wide vote today.
Don’t forget to vote on Tuesday.  It would be a great opportunity for students to accompany you to the polls for this historic Presidential election.
