NEWSLETTER MRS. TURNER NOV. 3-7

BIOGRAPHY BOOK REPORT- I gave the students a sheet of paper today with information about how we are going to be doing the biography book report. A parent signature is needed on the sheet. Note cards were passed out to all of the students, and we discussed in detail how to fill them out. We will be working on our note cards every day this week in class. Note cards can be worked on at home, but realize that time will be given in class each day. Students need to be ready for the interview on Tuesday, November 11th. Note cards can NOT be used during the interview. They are to be used for practicing for the interview. Start figuring out what to wear during the interview. I’m looking forward to meeting all of the famous people on my soon to be famous talk show…Biography Blab…The Talk Show Where Famous People…Tell It All!

NO SCHOOL- Students do not have school on Tuesday due to Election Day.

TURKEY TALES- Students will be writing a creative piece to share at our Turkey Tale Celebration on Friday, November 21st. Students will also be decorating a turkey to go along with the story. Information will be coming home later this week about what to bring to school for decorating. Parents, please RSVP if you plan on coming to the celebration.

THANKSGIVING FEAST- An orange piece of paper was sent home last week about the Thanksgiving feast in the cafeteria. If you plan on coming to eat with your child on Wednesday, November 19th from 12:05-12:50, please fill out the bottom portion of the letter and return it by Friday. We will have additional lunch time changes that week.
