No Spelling test this week. Review words previously learned.

We had five children who did not respond to the home and school  lunch form for the lunch on Thursday.
I spoke to these children and they wanted the lunch, so I took the liberty of responding for them. If you do not wish them to have this lunch, just send them with a lunch on Thursday. I hope this does not offend anyone.

Remember, Friday is an early dismissal day. Grades 1-4 are out at 10:15 A.M.

I hope you have all your shopping done, cookies baked, and gifts wrapped. I DON'T!!!  WHERE ARE THE ELVES WHEN  I NEED THEM??????????????

Enjoy your evening!

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.

Pizza day is Friday, November 30th. If you did not order pizza for your child, be sure to send a lunch as there are no hot lunches for that day.

Please remember the toy drive is going on all this week. Let's try to make Christmas a happy time for some kids who won't get anything.

We have a "spy" in our classroom!!!  Sprite, the Elf  On The Shelf, has invaded our classroom. He is spying for Santa and will give his report each night from now until Christmas break. We are all trying to be on our best behavior so he will only give good reports to Santa.

Get well wishes to Christopher. He had his tonsils out over the break. Hope he'll be back soon.

Have a great evening!

Homework: There is no homework over the Thanksgiving holiday. If the children are bored, they can work on flashcards or work with their spelling lists. This can also be done if YOU need some quiet time and need to keep them busy.

Thank you for the jars. It made our butter-making time go much faster. The kids had a great time.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Please try to attend mass on Thursday. We have so much to be thankful for in this country. We may not always agree with our law makers, but at least we have the freedom to disagree. Our country has been blessed with many resources. We have many reasons to be thankful.

Please keep Mrs. Donna Codina and her family in your prayers. Mrs. Codina is our PreK 3 aide. Her sister passed away this week.

Please remember those people who are not as fortunate as we are.

Have a fantastic Thanksgiving!!!!!!
