Gregg at Claxton
2016-2017
November 15, 2016
The children and I cannot believe it is already November; this year is flying by!
We hope you can come in this Friday, November 14, for Claxton's Thanksgiving Lunch. Our lunch time is 10:55 - 11:25. If you can attend, please send me the number of adults having lunch by tomorrow morning - either email or a written note.
After lunch students will be sharing information about Daily 5 - a structure for continued learning during teacher guided reading groups. Students choose the activities they complete when not with the teacher and work on building stamina in reading and writing.
The book fair will also begin on November 18 and children are always eager to attend with their families.
I'd also like to invite you and your family to our class Tuesday, November 22, for an opportunity to relax together and have a breakfast snack. We will meet from 7:40-8:30. I hope everyone can come and take a moment of enjoy one another's company before the busy holiday season begins.
I hope all is well with your and your family and I hope to see you Friday!
Thank you,
Holly
