Nov. 21-Dec. 2
















Enjoy the pictures from the assembly last week and the TRADE FAIR that was today.  We also have three students who did a skit on the book they read!




 Happy Thanksgiving!!!


All in a Word
- Aileen Fisher

T for time to be together, turkey, talk, and tangy weather.
H for harvest stored away, home, and hearth, and holiday.
A for autumn's frosty art, and abundance in the heart.
N for neighbors, and November, nice things, new things to remember.
K for kitchen, kettles' croon, kith and kin expected soon.
S for sizzles, sights, and sounds, and something special that abounds.
That spells - THANKS - for joy in living and a jolly good Thanksgiving.


READING PARTY-
BY Monday, two fiction books and one non-fiction book should have been read and your sheets should have been filled out and turned in.  The last day that I will accept these sheets will be on Monday.

On Monday, I will then ask, the students that qualify, if they would like to order a large slice of Home Run Inn pizza and jumbo sugar cookie for the party.  If the student is interested in the pizza from HRI, I will send home an order form with the price, on Monday.  Please return them by Tuesday!

The students may also buy a hot lunch or bring their own lunch for our reading party.

The reading party will be on Thursday, Dec. 1st!
