What's Happening This Week

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break!

A few reminders:

1.    We are participating in the Angel Tree program this year. Please allow your child to do chores at home to raise money to help purchase gifts for our angels. These children are students at the Regional School. Send all donations to school in an envelope marked Angel Tree by Tuesday, Dec. 4^th.Thank you for your support and generosity during this season of giving.

 

2.   Our student teacher’s last day will be this Friday, Nov. 30^th. Please send a school supply (example: box of crayons, pencils, etc.) in a bag this week for Ms. Brown so we can present her with a nice basket of “teacher goodies”. SHHH! It’s a surprise! Ask your child to hand me the goody so I can keep it a secret until Friday! I would also like each student to make a card for Ms. Brown at home this week and bring it to school by Friday morning. We will present the cards and gifts to her on Friday afternoon. Thanks for your help with this!

The Week According to Trey

Monday was the best Monday ever.  I could not wait to write about when we were in Technology.  We learned that we were starting an endangered species project.  I'm so excited to see what animal I'm going to get.  We also made our Science hats.  They were all amazing.  Then we went to the Exploreum.  We learned all about Science and animals.  That's how our week went.
