FYI and next week!

First of all, I want to say that I am very proud of your children. They are precious! The class as a whole, is making great choices. They are sweet and kind and appreciative! Today was a great day with owl pellets. It was an exciting lesson, but they showed self control and did wonderfully. What impressed me the most is the fact that they thanked me for doing the project! Wow! That says a lot about you all as parents. Thanks for sharing these sweetie pies with me! I will post pictures in the next few days.

A handful of children struggled with the NE region state location test. Of all the regions, this one is the hardest to memorize, simply because it consists of all those tiny New England states. :o I will give a retake on Friday, if your child would like to retake it. We talked about this in class today, so the children know.

Next week is Thanksgiving Break. Wow! Already? It will be a fun 2 day school week. On Monday, we will do Thanksgiving related work and on Tuesday, we will have a Bedlam Read and Feed. Encourage your child to wear RED or orange to celebrate the OU/osu bedlam game on the following Saturday. I told the children even if they are not OU or osu fans, to choose one of those colors to wear anyway. :) In the past, parents have sent RED or orange snacks for the class. If you would like to do that, we would enjoy it! Drinks/candy can be included. The children can bring comforts from home as well, such as a pillow, blanket, and stuffed animal.

That's all for now! :)
