We are back in action!!!

Hi families! I am SO sorry for the delay in updates and posts...the Blogger site has not been working correctly over here and I have not been able to update our posts in a long time! There is SO much to update...where to begin??? First, thank you to EVERYONE for your help and support in making our basket auction a huge success last week. Our kids directly benefit from the proceeds, so from the bottom of our hearts--THANK YOU! The next two weeks are going to be jam-packed full of activities, excitement and challenges. Here are some upcoming reminders: 1. TOMORROW November 12 is PICTURE RETAKE Day! If you were unhappy with your child's pictures, tomorrow is your chance to try again! 2. This week is our annual FOOD DRIVE. Your child brought home a paper sack last Friday and if you could return it with any non-perishable items to donate to our local food pantry, it would be very appreciated. 3. Next week is our amazing BOOK FAIR! All week there will be different activites and opportunities for you to come check out our fabulous fair. Mrs. Preston does a wonderful job and the proceeds from our Book Fair directly benefit our already-awesome library. Stay tuned for an agenda of next week's activities. 4. REMEMBER next Friday November 21 is our FIELD TRIP (finally)! Has your child come home and told you they are pumpkin farmers? Or beanie baby parents? We have been learning about plant lifecycles in first grade and are growing science in our window as we speak. Have them tell you about their pumpkin babies and their bean babies. We will keep you posted on any new developments in our plant lifecycle experiment. Great pictures to come...That is, if the website cooperates! Today, we have spent a big chunk of our day talking about Veterans. Be sure to ask your child about who Veterans are and what they do or have done for our country. Bundle up...just like that, it feels like winter. Enjoy your evening together! Stay warm and cozy!
