I have my monthly long 90+ technology meeting so this is super quick.

Tomorrow the parade hopes to start at 9:00 a.m.

Students should come to school in their costume.
If the costume is overly distracting please have students bring a chance of clothes so they still sit the rest of the day.
**We went to our Buddy Class today, they just adore the 5th graders.  However they are only 5 or 6 years old so please do not put on too much blood or gory costumes.  As we left today all of the buddies were saying, "see you tomorrow!!"  We don't want to tramatize the entire kindergarten kids****

On www.ixl.com -- all the K lessons found in “Number Theory” of 5th grade would be great skills to master.

On Friday we are watching A Princess Bride, it is PG so we require your written permission.
