***On going*** We are trying to win a party for our class by being the classroom with the MOST donated cans for the canned food drive!!!

Als0*** Parents please remember to have your child read to you or another adult or older sibling at least 20 minutes PER DAY and log this on the December reading log!!! This is a requirement, and it really pays off when you see your child jump several levels in his/her reading ability!!!

***Please LABEL all coats, hats, gloves, etc. Many children have similar coats or sweatshirts and it helps them (and us) keep track of individual clothing much easier!!!

Thanks!!! Mrs. C
