Classroom Chatter
I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Enjoy the nice break with your family. This year, I am thankful for my wonderful group of third graders! Don't forget to ask your child to share their turkey story we worked on in english.(It will come home Tuesday after we share them in class). Something the whole family will enjoy! Gobble! Gobble!
*HOLIDAY SERVICE PROJECT: Two notes will come home Monday explaining our school wide holiday service project. Each classroom is assigned a family to "sponsor" this holiday season, as well as work to collect gift cards and money for the Lutherbrook Foundation, a safe home for abused children. As a class, we will be working to make the holidays bright for a family struggling with cancer. We will be collecting gifts for the individual family members and entire family, as well as monetary donations and gift cards for Lutherbrook through Wednesday, December 5th. Please see the note in your child's binder for details explaining these special and incredible projects. Any questions, please contact me. Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness!
Book orders will be coming home on Monday and available to purchase online again. Please take advantage of online ordering! It helps me out greatly! The due date is Friday 11/30. There is no school that day. Online orders will be due that day. Paper orders need to be in by Thursday 11/29. LOOKING FOR GIFT IDEAS???? Order some books! They make great gifts and stocking stuffers. If you are ordering any books that are to be Christmas/Holiday gifts and you don't want your child to see them, send me an email or a note. I will set those books aside. We can then arrange for a day and time for you to pick them up at school.
YEARBOOKS: Now’s the time to place your orders. Yearbooks are $9.00 and the deadline for your orders is Monday, December 3, 2007. No orders will be accepted after that date. Please make checks payable to Lifetouch. Please make sure your student’s name, teacher’s name and grade level are marked on the order form. Yearbook order forms went home with your child on November 15th and there a few extra envelopes available; please try not to lose them. If your child loses it, you can send an envelope with the following information on it: student’s name, teacher’s name and grade level along with a check made payable to Lifetouch for $9.00. It is very important that you put the information on the envelope; Lifetouch does not know who your child’s teacher is.
Parent Teacher conferences will be held on Monday 11/26, Tuesday 11/27, and Wednesday 11/28. Please remember to be on time for your conference. It is only 15 minutes. I look forward to meeting with everyone!
