It's a TwitchCon Weekend

• No, I'm not going but downtown San Jose is going to be super duper busy due to TwitchCon being in town. Though if Niantic decides to drop some Unown spawns...
• No Homework this weekend. Math Textbook pgs. 116-119 are due Tuesday.
• We are getting a new student on Monday. Speaking of which...
• I will be having a sub on Monday.
• Wednesday is Halloween. If you do not allow your children to participate in the morning parade (around 8:30 ??), we have a room on campus where students can go to watch a movie.
• We will not be having a class party per se, but a goodie exchange after lunch. It won't be replacing lunch at all.
• If you want to bring something to share with others, please do. It will take place after lunch (12:15 p.m.). If everyone is here, our class will consist of 28 students that day.
• I will always do my "allergy reminder" speech to the class before they pass anything out, so please try to avoid providing goodies with nuts.
• No home-baked or -made goodies please. I appreciate your support.
• Oh, and it's a 1:00 p.m. minimum day dismissal.
• RE: costumes, keep it fun and festive. No violent weapons or anything that may cause the principal's eyebrows to perk up...in a bad way.
• Thursday, November 1 begins our class's turn as lunch helpers. I'll update the schedule and post it.
• Lastly, if you did not schedule a conference date and time yet, please email me and I can help figure out some dates that may work for you. Thanks and have a great and safe weekend!
