NEWSLETTER MRS. TURNER NOV. 26-30

THANK YOU- Wow! Thank you so much for the beautiful fruit basket filled with goodies. My family and I enjoyed the fruit throughout the holiday. We also went to the movies. I burned the candle and it smelled great. We still have our pizza gift card. That will get me out of cooking one night

ACCELERATED READER- Many children have already met their 10 point AR goal for the second nine weeks. I am very proud of their effort. Remember, the more you read, the better reader you become! As of today, your child has _________AR points.

FIELD TRIP- We will be going to the Vulcan Rock Quarry on Tuesday, December 11th. I put all of the names of the parents who said they wanted to go in a drawing. Mrs. Hendricks is our winner! She will be our chaperone for the field trip.

MULTIPLICATION FISH TESTS- The tests are going well. Thank you for studying with your child on a daily basis. Learning the multiplication facts is SOOOOO important. Remember, students may NOT make up a Real Deal Test for any reason. Keep up the good work!

TARGET- Students will not have Target during the month of December due to testing. We will have X-tra Activity on Fridays during this time.

HOLIDAY CRAFTS- Parents, if you would like to come in and do a holiday craft with the students the last week before the holidays, please let me know. We will have one craft every afternoon starting at 1:00 on Monday, December 17th - Thursday, December 20th. Parents are asked to bring any necessary supplies that aren’t already available in the classroom. I will use the time for one on one help with any students who need my assistance.
