Turkey Day

Happy early Thanksgiving!  The week will be shortened, but BUSY, due to Thanksgiving!  The class will soon find out that I am looking forward to the day after for....Black Friday shopping!  The students know me well enough that they will NOT be surprised to hear that!  Regardless, enjoy your time with your family.

Being the Thanksgiving holiday is this week, the 3rd grade teachers thought it would be a nice treat for the classes to have a movie afternoon on Wednesday, November 27th.  Since we are planning a movie, we are asking that the students provide their own snack AND beverage to drink that day.  The beverage can be whatever they like: juice, water, Gatorade, whatever!  (We are just asking that your child NOT bring pop).  Also, please see that the drink is a twist-top.  Your child's snack can be his/her own choice.  Your child can bring his/her snack and beverage to class on WEDNESDAY morning.  He/she does NOT need to bring a snack and beverage but it will NOT be provided by the school.  It is your choice to send your child with a snack.  Thanks a bunch! 

We are having an author visit with our K-3 students tomorrow.  Jamie Teahen Sanders, author of Adrian's Adventures in Indonesia is visiting with our class and sharing her writing experiences.  It will be exciting to visit with an author and hopefully the students learn some new things too.

For some apparent reason, there has been an increase in students in our class bringing cough drops to school.  While I am completely OK with students bringing cough drops to school if he/she needs them, I am finding some of the students are bringing them and using them more as a candy than a cough drop.  I am just asking that if your child brings cough drops, he/she MUST have a note with a parent/guardian's permission.  If he/she does not have a note, he/she cannot have the cough drops.  Please ask me if you have any questions.  Thank you!

Lastly, there is a 1-hour early out on Wednesday, November 27th, due to Thanksgiving break.  Students will be dismissed at 2:25 PM, so please plan accordingly.  

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Information for You

The Chip Shoppe fundraiser pick-up day is TOMORROW! If your child ordered items from the Chip Shoppe, please pick your child's items up between 3-6PM in the elementary cafeteria.  Please contact the office with any questions. Thank you!


Tomorrow, I will be sending your child's Unit 2 assessment in math.  Please look over the test with your child and discuss the test with him/her.  Look over the questions that were missed and ask your child to solve the missed questions.  Please sign the sheet attached to the test to indicate that you have looked over the test and discussed the missed problems.  Finally, please have your child return the sheet to me.  ALL of the students are receiving a review packet.  I have decided to send each student a review packet because your child MUST know how to add and subtract.  Most of the class needs to review longer addition and subtraction from this unit.  Your child IS EXPECTED to complete the packet at home with help from you.  Your child does NOT need to return the packet, but your child DOES need to complete it.  If you would like for your child to turn it into me, I would be more than willing to check it over and let your child know how he/she did.  If you have any questions when the tests go home today, please contact me.  Thank you!

TOMORROW, I am sending home your child's book order.  Your child is bringing home several different flyers for you and your child to look at.  I have written down the due date (Friday, November 22nd) and the online code (GQLKG), if you are interested in ordering online.  If you do choose to order online, I have attached a link to the top of our blog page for easy access to the Scholastic Book Clubs link.  It is your choice to order online or to send a check or cash to school with your child.  If you choose to send book orders to school, please make checks payable to "Scholastic Book Clubs" and not to me.  Again, please see the flyers for the due date and class activation code (for ordering online). Thank you and Happy Reading!


Lastly, there is a 3-hour early out on Wednesday, November 20th, due to teacher in-service.  Students will be dismissed at 12:25 PM, so please plan accordingly.  Thanks!

Have a wonderful week!  Please contact me with any questions/concerns.
