Classroom Chatter
Students attending the roller skating party on Monday, 11/8, will need to report to school at 3:45 pm to check in and have their hands stamped before boarding buses. Students should bring in their fast pass with them at check in, which will go home with them on Monday. Please remember not to park in the bus lanes when dropping and picking up your child. Thanks.
A study guide came home today for the PE test. It is on Wednesday.
Don't forget no school Thursday for Veterans' Day.
Book orders came home today. The deadline to order books will be Friday, 11/12. I encourage everyone to try online ordering. It is safe, fast, and easy! Plus, it gets the classroom FREE BOOKS! Thanks in advance!
Friday we will be takin our field trip to Downers Grove. If you are a chaperone, information will come home Monday with your child as to what time to arrive and your field trip group and a schedule of the day. Please dress for the weather. We will be outside for half of the field trip. Don't forget you can send your child with $5-$8 for spending money at the shops in DG after lunch.
