Fall Conferences are scheduled for this Thursday, November 3rd, Friday, November 4th, and next Thursday, November 10th. Mrs. Schaefer, Mrs. Loos, and I are meeting with you if we have your student in our math class or reading class, so most of you will meet with one of us for 15 minutes and then go to the other teacher's classroom for another 15 minute conference. We feel this new method is best, as we will be able to discuss individual math and reading questions/concerns specific to your student. Due to this new method we do have a very FULL schedule, so please do your best to be punctual. We look forward to meeting with you all again!
Have a great week!

1st Week!
We had a great first week! We "celebrated" in the gym with the whole school on Tuesday. All staff and I are excited to see and celebrate all of the successes students experience this year.
In our homeroom, the students and I had many wonderful discussions about routines, rules, and how we are going to interact as a kind community. They had such great ideas and I'm really looking forward to how they live out what we agreed upon.
This week started with the new experience of switching for math and reading. The fifth graders seemed to be ready to dive into their reading and math books and lessons. They did a great job gathering their materials and going where they needed to go on time. We are taking a lot of time teaching students about independent skills and hope to see that they are becoming more and more independently responsible as the year progresses.
Looking forward to more and more exciting days and weeks ahead!

Fall Interviews
It has been great to meet everyone these past two days. I'm excited to start off another great school year at Sibley! Remember to bring your homework activity to school on Tuesday. Your bag of 4-6 things should be with you, so your classmates and I can learn a little about you during the first few days of school.
Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you on Tuesday.
