Week of November 25th through 29th

Hello! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Please see below for important announcements for the short week ahead:

• Today, November 25th, your child will be bringing home a green letter. Mrs. Zimmer and I decided that to get into the spirit of giving for the upcoming holidays we will have our classes raise money for the Worland Humane Society. To do this, we are asking students to bring in change. We will each have a collection container in our rooms that students may put their change in. We are NOT asking students to ask people for donations or go door-to-door; nor are we requiring each student to bring in money. This is NOT a competition between classes either. On December 20th Mrs. Zimmer and I will combine our collection money and make the donation to the Humane Society. Remember, pennies make dollars! Anything helps! Thank you for your help with this giving project!

• Due to the short week there will be NO spelling words. Enjoy the break from spelling!

• There WILL be a short Thanksgiving homework coming home on Monday. This should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete--it's meant to be a fun activity. Please encourage your child to view the clues carefully and it should really be quite easy. (This will make more sense when you see the paper.)

• Math homework will also go home on Monday and won't be due until Wednesday. Once again, this homework probably will take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.

• Please encourage your child to read a little bit each day over the Thanksgiving break.

• Just a reminder--Wednesday (Nov. 27th) is an EARLY RELEASE. Students will be dismissed at 12:45. Please make arrangements for your child.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate! I hope your family has a wonderful Thanksgiving Break! 

Mrs. Martinez
