Week of November 14th

​

Thank you for all the items donated for the food drive. As a class, we donated 46 items. What a great lesson to teach our children. Today we celebrated Veteran's Day by researching, "What is Veteran's Day? Why and how do we celebrate?" and we listened to a Veteran share about his job and service. We even saw and sampled their food they eat while on duty. Ask your child all about it! 

Information:

• Six Flags Reading Log: Your child will bring a reading log and information home on Monday. This is optional. Your child can log their reading on the sheet (in addition to or instead of completing the 200 book log for this time period). If your child would like to participate in this, they should turn their log into me by February 10th. For reading 6 hours and logging their time read, they will receive a free Six Flags Ticket. I've encouraged the students to keep their logs in their daily folder so they are not misplaced.
• Please encourage your child to bring their ILC books back every Friday or sooner if they finish them.
