Week of November 25....

How many words can you make using the words "THANKSGIVING DINNER?"  Our class has created over 230 words (so far)!  If you think of any as a family, please send them in with your child tomorrow. 

Since we are having a short week, Friday Folders will not be going home tomorrow.  However, I will send home the math quizzes that were taken earlier today.  Everyone did a great job!

Tuesday, December 3, will be our next Spirit Day.  Our class has now won two months in a row and have selected "Dress to Impress" to be the theme!

Happy Thanksgiving!
