Thank you for all your kind words and thoughts during the past week. We really do appreciate the effort it takes to raise a family and follow through with homework and so forth. So thank you for all your hard work.
There are a few things to remember about this week. Monday and Friday are the only two normal days.
There is NO SCHOOL for children on Tuesday, November 8th.
Wednesday, November 9th, is our annual Friends and Family lunch in the cafeteria for kindergarten , second, and fourth grades. Our lunch time that day is at 12:04. Do not be shocked if there is a delay. We will meet you at the cafeteria or somewhere along the 500 hallway.
Our lunch time is also adjusted for Thursday’s first, third, and fifth grade Friends and Family lunch. We will eat at 10:43 that day.
The letter for this week is “S.” Please send in pictures for the alphabet dictionaries by Thursday.
We are going to take a quick visit to the Scholastic Book Fair before our Friends and Family lunch. Be on the look-out for a wish list. You also will have the option of taking your child to the book fair after lunch. Please note that purchases are totally optional.
The Thanksgiving theme focuses on Native Americans and how they helped the Pilgrims. Thank you for sending in the Native American names. You were quite creative and the children loved making their headbands.
We are taking a closer look at geometry in math. Recently the children have constructed both a sphere and a cube. I hope you recognized these shapes when they came out of the backpacks. They may have required a little reconstruction.
Our Relay for Life team is sponsoring a Date Night fund raiser. Date Night is Friday December 9th 6-9 PM. The cost is $10 for 1st child and $5 for any others. You can take advantage of trustworthy child-sitting for a real date night or for some holiday shopping. The children do have to be Baker students.
That’s all the news I can think of on this delightful Saturday afternoon. Thanks for checking the blog.
The bonus B.U.G.S ticket word is “Squanto.”
