NEWSLETTER MRS. TURNER NOV. 14-18
CAN DRIVE- Many thanks to all of the families who sent in cans. I know the families who receive them will be very thankful.
FIFTH GRADE MUSICAL- Please come and see the Science Fair Winners and the Fifth Grade Musical on Tuesday, November 15th.
NOTEBOOK PAPER- Please ask your child if he/she needs more notebook paper. Many of the students are running low at this point in the year. Our class “stash” is almost gone.
ACCELERATED READER- All students need at least 10 AR points with at least 80% accuracy by Thursday, December 22nd. Please encourage your child to meet this goal. All students wrote a note in their agendas today showing their points and percentage.
TYPISTS NEEDED- Are you a good typist? We need your help! The students have written their own versions of Cinderella, and we would like to turn each one of them into a book. If we could get 4-5 parents, we could get them finished pretty quickly. Please let me know if you are interested. I will also need parents to bind the books once they are typed. Let me know if you are interested in that too.
NOTE CARDS NEEDED- We are using notecards to make our multiplication facts. We are running low on 3 X 5 notecards. We would appreciate any donations that you could send in.
