Weekly Update 11/18/11

Important Announcements:

*Spelling note for next week: There will be NO spelling next week. Enjoy! The spelling words for the week of November 28th will be sent home on Wednesday, November 23rd.

*Our next math test will take place on Tuesday, November 22nd. We will be reviewing for the test on Monday, and I will be sending home a study guide that evening for homework.

*I would like to clarify something since there seems to be some confusion. I sent home a letter requesting snacks from each family. This is for a special activity we are doing the morning of November 23rd. This is NOT related to the Fall Party. Mrs. Angle has been working on donations for the Fall Party as well. I am sorry if this has caused any confusion, and if your family is unable to donate a snack for our special morning activity, that is okay. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

*Book-It calendars were sent home on Tuesday, November 1st. Use the calendar to track the number of minutes your child reads. If he/she reads for fifteen minutes, he/she can color in the date on the calendar. In order to earn the free personal pan pizza coupon from Pizza Hut, your child will need to read for fifteen minutes, four times a week. The calendar is due back on December 1st. The program will continue through March.
