A Time to be Thankful

Dear Parents,

I would like to express my gratitude to those of you who have  or have a loved one serving in our military.  Your service and sacrifice is appreciated.  Also, this is the time of year that we tend to look at our blessings.  I am so thankful to work at such a lovely and compassionate school.  Thank you for the donations to the PTA Turkey Project.  It is wonderful to aid those in need.  Our community is very blessed.

Thanksgiving Feast:
Our Annual Thanksgiving Day Feast is Wednesday, November 15th during your child’s regular lunch time. We love to have family members join us! Please complete this quick google form so we know how many people to plan for. Thank you!  Click here to reserve your place.

Coffee House Poetry:
Please mark your calendars for December 1st at 9:45.  There will be a line to get in, so please come early to have your driver's license scanned.  If you have had your DL scanned this last week, you should be in the new system.  Anyone who scanned their license prior to that will need to come in prior to CHP or be here early.

Biographies:
Our new study in Reading is Biography.  Your child has selected a person of interest.  Reports require a minimum of three sources (one must be a book, one must be an internet article, and student choice).  The biography notes will replace the Reading Log.  Your child is expected to read each night and take notes.  Multiple sources will be needed to do a thorough job.

Seesaw:
​Students are beginning to take on new tasks in Seesaw.  Make sure you check out what is new.

Units of Study:
Language Arts: Poetry and Biography
Writing: Capitalization
Spelling: Week 8
Math: 2 Digit by 2 Digit Multiplication
Science: Forces/ Hot Wheel Speedometry

Have a wonderful time with family this weekend,

Kelly
