October 15th Parent Letter

Miss Terhune: Luther Student Teacher

Miss Katie Terhune has been with us from Luther for the past two weeks. She was out in Boston, MA for her first placement and came back to start in Allamakee Schools. However, she needed a placement for two weeks before heading to Allamakee schools. So, she came to our classroom for a short time. She was a great asset to our room. She taught spelling, math, social studies, and really helped out on Tuesday while I was sick. Thanks for coming to our room to spend some time with us, we had fun!

Mr. Woodin: Luther Music

Mr. Woodin is our Luther Music student that will be with us on Thursday mornings for the next 5 weeks. He was teaching the students new notes on their recorders this week, along with learning the song, Ode to Joy.

Bryan and Rachel: Luther Nursing

Yet another Luther group that is coming to our classroom. Rachel and Bryan are nursing students that have been coming to our room to teach us about hand washing, sugar in different cereals, and the fat content in various foods. They bring lots of energy to our room and the students look forward to having them here every Friday morning. They will be with us for another 3 weeks.

Charlotte’s Web Fair

Thank you to those students who participated in the Charlotte’s Web fair on Tuesday. The fair was a success! I feel bad that I had to miss it, but Miss Terhune took lots of pictures and said that Mrs. Goetsch did a wonderful job of playing games and judging projects for students. Mrs. Heier was also a helpful asset during this busy day! I hope your son or daughter shared with you the award that they won during the day!

Skeleton Book Project

Your student should have brought home a book project outline for this next month. The parts are ready to be sent home when your son/daughter is finished with his/her book. The projects are due on November 8th! Please ask if you have not seen the projects.

Scholastic Book Orders

I have sent home another book order. These will be due on Wednesday, October 20th! You can either send a check or money back to me or order online. For every order online, the classroom gets one free book!

Character Counts Week

October 18th-22nd! Dress up and join the fun!
