Don't forget that Monday, November 5 is the ONLY day to purchase the grade level t-shirts for Kindergarten. Each grade level has a different day to make a payment.
We are also collecting money for our February 6 field trip to see Stephen Fite. If you do not send your money in on Monday with your t-shirt order, please make sure you pay by Tuesday, November 13. Permission slips to leave the school property will be sent home closer to the date of the concert. The seven chaperone slots are filled for our classroom. More may become available closer to the date. Let me know if you are interested on being on the waiting list.
Remember that Friday is early dismissal. We are dismissing at 1:10 pm. Please make sure you have made arrangements for your child. Enjoy starting your long weekend a few hours early. There is no school on Monday in observance of Veteran's Day.
This week is a review week of our introduced alphabet sounds and word wall words. In math, we will be digging deeper into understanding addition.
Classroom needs: Please start saving empty toilet tissue rolls. Send them in at any time. We need them for a Christmas secret!
Nancy's Italian Ice money, poetry journals and library books are needed on Monday. Our poem this week is about words that have multiple meanings. Be sure to ask your child to act out the poem. It will make you laugh.
What fun we had at the pumpkin patch! Thank you to the moms and dads that helped me keep track of the children. The children did ask if we could return to the patch the next day.
The school policy on passing out birthday invitations at school is that if every child in the class, or every girl or every boy has an invitation then I will put them in binders. If you are having a smaller party and inviting a select few then please refer to the class directory for addresses.
We talked about Tuesday's election last week with our Scholastic News. I encourage you to take your child to vote with you on Tuesday. Even though I know it is much more convenient to go without them, showing your children the voting process lays the foundation of being a contributing citizen. Our class will be excited to see who the winner of the election is when Wednesday morning arrives.
A big thank you to our military families, both moms and dads, who make the sacrifices to protect our freedom. I give thanks for you everyday. Enjoy this Veteran's Day weekend.
