Dear Families,

Congratulations to Daniel, he is our student of the week!

Tomorrow, November 19 is a minimum day with 1:15 dismissal for students in all grade levels.

The book fair takes place all week in the library. Our class has already previewed what is available and completed a wish list. You will find it attached to the front of this letter. Thursday morning at 9:30 students will be allowed to go to the library to make a purchase. Thursday evening is the big family night, you may also make purchases then. If you would like, you can even buy dinner which will be served from 5 to 7 p.m. You can call the school library for more details.

On Monday, we are celebration Native American Day. We have activities planned and have special guests visiting to teach us about their culture. The festivities will start at 10 a.m., in our classroom. This will be an incredible learning experience for all of us. Thank you to Michael for sharing his family and friends with us! Families are welcome to attend. School gets out at 1:45 on Monday and 1:15 on Tuesday. There will be no school on Wed., Thurs., or Fri.

Our homework packet is a little different this week because we get out on Tuesday so there is really nothing to return. We will resume our regular schedule after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Your children are GREAT!

Laura Rude
