THANK YOU for making our Thanksgiving Feast a huge success!!! The kids enjoyed eating all of the special, yummy food with their friends.

We wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving break!!!!! There is NO School from Nov. 18-26^th. The next month will go fast! Four weeks until our next break...wow!

Here’s what’s coming up when we return……

· Sharing can - Please have your child stretch out the sounds of all their words in their 3 written clues. Please do NOT tell them how to spell the words. They will benefit much more from stretching out and writing the sounds they hear. It will also help them to be able to read their writing. Thank you for your support!

· Holiday Fair—Be sure to stop by our Holiday Fair on Saturday, December 2^nd from 10:00a.m-1:00p.m. There will be fun crafts for the kids, cool stuff to buy plus our Holiday Kindergarten tree will be raffled off, along with all the other grade levels.
