· On
Thursday, November 5th Wellwood will be holding a special event: a
tree planting. Wellwood has received 105 trees to plant on the
school grounds. These trees will make our school more
beautiful, shade our un-airconditioned classrooms and provide a
forested area for wildlife. The trees will also absorb air and
water pollution, making our world a better place. We need
volunteers to help at the tree planting. Please complete and
return the
attached form or email
Mrs. Watts
for more information.

for the Hungry collection of non-perishables will continue until

The 4th grade will be
going to Marshy Point in conjunction with the Eco-Scouts unit. Ms.
Watts and Ms. Nielsen will be going on November 4th and Mrs.
King and M. Moen will go on November 13th.
This month the French
club will be on Tuesday November 3nd (K, 1, 2) and Tuesday,
November 17th (3, 4, 5). Unfortunately, there is not anymore
space available in either of the two clubs. MANY thanks to
Karen Kuebler, Christine Strim and Lila Khodorkovsky, without
their help and dedication, we wouldn't have any French club!
The 3rd graders are
currently in the midst of their second theme in reading:
Celebrating Traditions. They will be learning all about
how families and cultures keep and pass on traditions. Be
sure to talk with your 3rd grader about your important
traditions. In math news, the end of the 1st quarter has

News from the guidance
department:
I have enjoyed going
into the classrooms of the 3rd graders during September and
October. We have had a great time learning about conflict
resolution with our pal, Scruffy the Dog. Thank you 3rd
grade students—you were excellent listeners and now you are
great problem solvers! During the month of November I will
be coming into the classrooms of the 4th graders. Don’t
worry 4th graders—you too will get to meet Scruffy and learn
about the stop, think and pick a plan steps. You will be
specialists in how to solve problems and calm down when you’re
in a heated situation! I’m looking forward to meeting with
my 4th graders in November! -Ms. Benjamin
· Special
thanks to...
The Kindergarten
teachers would like to thank the special parents that went with
the classes to the zoo. We were so excited to have so many
parents come up to school quickly to take the volunteer
training. They helped make our trip safe and lots of fun. We
hope that they will all join us in April for our wonderful trip
to the B & O Railroad Museum. We hope to see them all soon
at upcoming school events.
