Dear Parents,

I would like to thank you all for your patience while our new building is being completed.  I can finally give you a date for moving-we will be back in our room on Monday, November 30th!  All students may be dropped off, at our classroom, at 8:20 AM and picked up at 11:00 AM.  Pre-K 3 can be dropped off at our classroom at 12:20 PM and picked up from our classroom at 3:00 PM.  If you are arriving earlier than 8:20 AM you are free to go to the playroom.  All I will ask is that you please pick up when you leave, there will be other classes using the room now that we are out of it.

Last week we worked on the letter Cc and we made cornucopias in honor of Thanksgiving. We also have been working on tracing our names, sorting and patterning.  The children in PK 3 have been doing such a great job in technology!  The technology teacher let them do what the kindergarten classes have been doing!  The family crests have been coming in and they look great! 

This week we will be learning about Thanksgiving and completing some Thanksgiving activities.  We will also be learning about and printing the letter Tt.  

IMPORTANT:

Pre-K 1 and Pre-K 3 WILL have class on NOVEMBER 19TH!  The rest of the school will not be in session because of Parent/Teacher conferences.  I will be having Parent/Teacher conferences on February 26th.

Please remember to assist your child with his/her book for Book In The Bag.  We will continue to exchange books on Monday for Pre-K 2 and Pre-K 3 and Tuesday for Pre-K 1.  If you have any questions/requests, please drop me a note.  If the children are interested in doing "homework", I would suggest that after reading the book they can write or draw their favorite part of the story; they could also change the ending of the story; write or draw a book report which includes the name of the author and illustrator, and a summary of the story.  I will gladly look over the homework and give each child a sticker for his/her great work!

The food drive went very well, I would like to thank everyone for participating.

The Library will be having its annual Scholastic Book Fair during the week of November 16th-November 20th.  The book fliers went home last week.  You may visit the library during the school day to look over books; or, place an order in your child's folder and I will send it to the library to be filled.  I will not be doing book orders during November.  I will send home Scholastic book order forms in the beginning of December, in time for Christmas-books make great Christmas presents!
