Dear Parents,
THIS WEEK WE: talked about the first Thanksgiving and the Pilgrims’ Native American friends that taught them how to survive in this new land. We worked on Indian outfits and read about how Pilgrim and Indian boys and girls lived. We wrote a book after giving ourselves an Indian name. It may become their nickname this year.
The Veteran’s Day Assembly was on Tuesday. I hope they got a sense of appreciation for the men and women that serve in our armed forces.
NEXT WEEK WE WILL: continue talking out being thankful and about the first Thanksgiving feast.
FUNDRAISER: We had an assembly this morning to find out the results of our fundraiser effort. Several from our class received hats! Each seller had tickets that went into a jar to select the lucky winner of being the principal for a day. Our very own Kailey won! We are so excited! Mrs. Sutherland will let us know when that day will be. One of her duties will be to purchase some new playground equipment! Our class was also one of the top selling classes! For that we received a $50 gift certificate from IPA (an educational supply store)!

FEAST: Thank you for signing up to send an item for our Thanksgiving feast. It will be Nov. 24th at 1:05 in the afternoon. If you volunteered to help set up and serve, please be here at 12:45p.m. I will send a reminder in the next week newsletter. We will dress the part of the first thanksgiving, parade into the gym and I am sure it will be a bountiful feast. (definitely a picture taking moment!)
