November News

This week we have a shadow day for incoming prek and kindergarten students.  If you know anyone, PLEASE send them our way.  We would love to have some new friends this year or for them to sign up for next year! If they can't come this week on the 11th, next week on the 17th is yet another day to bring a friend.

We are so busy lately.  I apologize for not sending a blog last week.  We have been working on Ee, Ff, in and out.  The students worked together as a whole group to create a classroom book on the SMARTboard!  They came up with the title, the characters and the story line.   This will be printed and each child will have a chance to take it home to share.  PLEASE keep it one night then return it.  I encourage you to fold some paper and staple it together and leave a few on a table with a pencil.  The children LOVE to write stories and this is something they can do with little to no help from an adult.  Don't ask them "what is this? or what does it say?" Instead, say to them "Can you read your story to me?"  This will give their work great value.

We are working on families over this week and next.  Please send a family photo by THURSDAY Nov. 11.  This will be displayed, so if it precious, please make a copy.  Don't forget Mrs. A's art scavenger hunt.  It is so much more fun than just going to the store to buy something.  Also, a big thanks to all who have or continue to donate during this giving season.  We all know times are very hard.  It is even harder for families with very ill children who are stuck "living" in hospitals for weeks and months.  Our last day for collecting is Nov. 12.

Finally, your time slot for parent teacher report cards was sent home.  Please return signed and if you are unable to make it, we will schedule another day after Thanksgiving if you would like.

God Bless!
