News and Information
If you have not turned in your family turkey please do so by Tuesday. I want everyone to have one in the hallway for Grandparent's Day.
Grandparent's Day Info -Please pass along to grandparents!!!
My class will have grandparent's day on Wednesday, November 7 from 10:00-11:00.
- We will be presenting a reader’s theater, viewing their grandparent Google Slide presentations, touring our classroom and visiting the book fair.
- Please let grandparent’s know that they should not arrive until after 9:50 so that the previous group of grandparents are out of the parking lot and parking spaces are available.
- Grandparents should report to the cafeteria and we will meet them there at 10:00.
- A friendly reminder that we are not able to accommodate grandparents for lunch on that day. We welcome them to eat with us at another time.
- If your child’s grandparents are unable to attend, they may invite a special guest in their place: aunt or uncle, friend or a parent. We would like for every child to have at least 1 guest on Friday.
