Families,
Boy, there are always lots of things going on!  Here's a quick hit of the things I know about that are coming up.

Music Program- The second grade music program is this Monday, at 6:00.  Mr. Brenholtz would like students to be at school by 5:40 (kids are coming to our classroom).  They are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes if they’d like.  Can’t wait to see you all there!

Elementary Planning Day- Friday, November 6th is an elementary planning day.  There is no school for students on this day.


Growth Mindset Workshop for Parents- At conferences, we talked briefly about the work Broadway is doing with growth mindset and Habits of Mind.  Growth mindset is incredibly powerful for students and we can’t wait to share some of what we’re learning with you!  Please join us on November 10th to learn more about this work!

Field Trip to the Math and Science Center- The second grade classes will be traveling to the Math and Science Center on Wednesday, November 18th.  Staff at the center will lead us in a hands-on exploration of forces and motion and we'll also be able to explore the Center.  We'll be leaving right around 9:00 and getting back to school just before 12:00.  Please note that we have traded lunch times with fourth grade for this day as we won't be back in time for our regularly scheduled lunch.  Students will have lunch from 12:00-12:40 on this day.  Permission forms will be coming home on Monday, October 26th.  We'd love to have two parent volunteers join us for this trip so if you're interested, please let me know.

Thanksgiving Lunch- Broadway's Annual Thanksgiving Lunch will be held on Thursday, November 19th.  Reservation forms came home last week.  If you would like to join your student for lunch on this day, please complete the reservation form and send it back to school so that the kitchen know how many lunches to make.

Thanksgiving Break- Thanksgiving Break will be November 23rd-27th.
