Happy Friday!

11/21/14

Happy Friday! We’ve had a fun and busy week here in the classroom. We’ve been working on adverbs, Europe, and different steps in the writing process. We had a great field trip on Tuesday to see the National Geographic Live presentation. A big thanks to all the parent chaperones who were able to attend with us! Thank you also for all the wonderful food that has come in for the food drive, we had quite the collection of macaroni and cheese and corn to donate!

We have quite a lot of fun activities coming up in the next month. Next Wednesday, November 26^th from 12:15 to 1:30, we have our Thanksgiving celebration/feast with Ms. Amanda’s classroom. We hope to see you there! If you haven’t had time to sign up to bring something, there is still time!

In December, we will have three different field trips. On the 5^th we are going to see Sussical Jr. at the PAC, on the 12^th we are going to see Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol at West High School, and on the 18^th we are going to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at APU. A little crazy, but it should be a lot of fun! I am sending home permission forms for all three field trips today. For both Ebenezer and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there is a second form to sign about riding in personal vehicles and if your child needs a booster seat. In addition if you are able to volunteer to drive for one (or maybe both? J) of these trips, there is another form to fill out and the office is requiring a copy of your driver’s license, insurance, and car registration. These copies can be made at school and once you have filled it out and turned in the paperwork, you are good to drive for the rest of the school year. The times of the shows are listed below and the total cost for all three field trips is fifteen dollars per child. If this causes any financial hardship, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your help with this and making these wonderful opportunities possible for our classroom!

There will not be any homework next week since it is a short week, but I did go ahead and send the homework menu and spelling words for the following week starting on December 1^st.
