Rules to Live By…
Chew with your mouth closed and never talk with your mouth full.
Treat each mistake as an opportunity to learn.
When leaving a guest’s house, always leave things cleaner than you found them.

Book Reviews
Our class brain stormed some fabulous book project ideas, and have come up with a list from which to choose (I will post the descriptions on my Book Review webpage). This trimester students need to complete 2 book reports. However, they will need to complete 3 book reports for the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. When a student completes a book, the book project will take place of the 100 minutes of reading in the packet for the week.
Room Parent
Lisa Cedillo and Heidi Wells will be sharing the Room Mom position. They would love to have your help, so please contact them if you are willing.

Science
This week, each student turned in a healthy recipe. Mrs. Hubbard would like to turn them into a recipe book for the students to keep. If this is something you are interested in compiling, please contact me.
Conferences
Thank you for attending conferences. I made 2 copies of the goal sheet-one for students to keep in their binder, and one to keep at home. I look forward to your child’s progress this year!
Alice in Wonderland
On October 29th, the 4th grade will be attending Alice in Wonderland in Downtown Portland. If you are interested in chaperoning this event, please email me. I will be needing 2 more volunteers. We will eat lunch at 10:15 (please bring a sack lunch), load busses at 10:45, the play will go from 11:45-12:45, and we will arrive home at 1:45. Thank you PAC for funding this field trip!!
Loud and Clear
We had our first Loud and Clear lesson. We practiced enunciating our words, using hand gestures, and projecting our voices. Next Monday we will practice our hook (introduction).
Helping Hands
Do you need a little extra help for the holidays this year? Sherwood's Helping Hands is now collecting names of families wanting assistance with Thanksgiving food, Christmas food, and/or Christmas gifts. Requests for Christmas gifts need to be placed by November 5th. Please contact Susan Burke, School Counselor, 503-825-5304, as soon as possible for the forms and phone numbers. Forms are located outside Mrs. Burke's office door.
This key was found close to the school. Please contact the office if it is yours.
