Moses' Minute

We have had a great first half of the school year!  The students have worked really hard, and I think they are ready for a break.

Update:
The students are now expected to bring their own snack each day.  Thank you to those who donated snacks.

Winter Celebration
We will have our "Winter Celebration" on Thursday, December 20th, from 12:15-1:15.  We will have pizza for lunch with some snacks and drinks.  We are also having a book exchange so that everyone will have something to read during their winter break.  The boys will bring books for boys and the girls will bring girl books.  The cost should be $4-$10 (paperback).  No expensive books, please.

Winter Break - 12/22/07-1/8/08

MOSES' MINUTE

FALL weather is here!  It is so hard to believe that we are already into November!

This week I started sending homework/graded work home in a folder.  It has a sheet stapled to the front for you to sign and write comments after you have gotten your child's work.  This will come home every Monday and need to be returned on Tuesday.  I feel that this is one more way to communicate with each other.

11/13 - ITBS and CogAt scores will be sent home in Tuesday folders
11/14 - Fern Bank Field Trip (Chaperones will be Mrs. Van Horn & Mrs. Mott)
11/15 - Family & Friends Thanksgiving Luncheon (Grades 1,3,5)
            (a photographer will be available for pictures - $12)
11/21-25 - Thanksgiving holidays

11/27 - Chick-fil-A Night (3rd grade teachers & office staff will be hosting)

REQUESTS:
We are really low on snacks.  We have 20 students in the class.  Any contributions will be greatly appreciated.

SPECIAL THANKS:
Thank you to all who have contributed in the classroom and brought snacks.  The help and food have been greatly appreciated!
