Dear Families,

I hope you are “Sharpening the Saw” on this gorgeous Sunday!

It sure was great to see so many of you yesterday at Lindbergh’s Holiday Boutique.  I hope you had a chance to see our amazing Mad Science Baskets.  If not, here they all are:

Thanks to our awesome Homeroom Moms- Aston’s mom, Dominic’s mom and Enna’s mom for putting in so much time and effort in creating this year’s basket.  Also, thanks to everyone who sent in donations.  The proceeds of our basket will be spent directly on our classroom and these amazing kindergartners!

Help!!  I know that it is November but I am in desperate need of several “pool noodles.”  If you have any laying around in your garage, I would be happy to replace them in the spring.  Thanks.

Here is what you need to know for the week:

• Library Books:  If you are looking for your child’s library book, stop.  We never made it up to the library last week since we had no school on our Tuesday Book Check-Out day.
• Monday:  Please return Nightly Reading Homework, book bag and Poetry Journal.  We will go to gym and art today.
• Tuesday:  I will be attending the Math Academy in the morning.  This training allows me to receive the most effective math instruction for your child.  Mrs. Smith will be the guest teacher.  The class will go to the Media Center and have music with Mrs. Baloga.
• Wednesday:  Today is Late Start!  School will begin at 9:35 a.m.  We will have Mad Science in the afternoon.  Parent/teacher conferences will be held in the evening.
• Thursday:  We will have Music with Mrs. Baloga.  Parent/Teacher conferences will be held in the evening.
• Friday:  Popcorn Friday.  Have your child bring in 25 cents for each bag of popcorn they would like to purchase.  Limit 4 bags.

Words of the Week:  go  we

Poetry:  Mr. Turkey

Reading:  Retelling the story ( beginning/middle/end)

Writing:  Opinion writing:  The students are doing a great job with writing their opinions, knowing to start with “I think…”  Just had to share Ali’s opinion!:)
