Thursday - Math Volume Test, Wear RED
Friday - Field Trip to Old Salem (be at the cafeteria around 6:00 am - bus will pull out at 6:30 am).  Parents who are chaperoning, I will be sending out information to you early in the week but will also have papers for you that morning.  Please check in with me when you arrive.  We will be returning to school around 5:30 pm.  Please meet us in the back parking lot.  I will be going over specifics with students on Monday or Tuesday and will be sending an email to all parents with field trip specifics then too.

You may want to go ahead and print off the SS ch 6 study guide.  We will be starting this on Monday.  I will provide copies on Monday to those who have notified me that they are unable to print.  The Notes answer key will be in their Google Classroom account on Monday.

Our Thanksgiving Breakfast will be on Monday Nov. 21 from 8:45-9:30.
Our Fun Run will be on Tuesday Nov. 22 from 1:15-2:15.
Thanksgiving Break is from Wednesday Nov. 23 - Sunday Nov. 27.

We will be having an Auction in December.  This is a time for the students to "spend" or "bid on items" with the coupons they have earned so far this year.  We will be sending home more information about this early in December but we do need parent support to have items for the kids to bid on.  If you are able to pick up some items (small, medium, or big) over the Thanksgiving Break it would be greatly appreciated.  Items can range from puzzle books, to chips and soda, to movie passes.  Think about what your child would want to bid on!
