We have a new President! Students arrived excited and enthusiastic about our new President elect. We have been learning all about the President's job and the many things he has to do that we didn't even know about. Today we discussed how important it is to be respectful and supportive of our newly elected president regardless of who you voted for. We discussed the importance of this particular election and why it is historical and what a privilege it is to live in this great nation.
We have lots of things coming up on our calendar and wanted to remind you. This Friday night is reading night at Barnes and Noble. Please join us there for lots of special activities and performances.
This Friday is also wear your favorite hat day to raise money for United Way.

In class we have been studying not only the Presdential election but some other exciting things. We are adding and subtracting fractions, we are writing every day, we are learning about finding main ideas and supporting details, and we things in science that are so small you can not see them with your eyes!
Last week was red ribbon week and we would like to thank one of our teachers Mrs. Karen Brown and her children for putting together a great week of activities to remind us about the importance of a drug free life.
Parents should remember to check agendas and remind students to read at least 20 mintues every night. Almost everyone knows their multiplication tables by now but if your student does not, they will not be able to show progress in math. Use flash cards to practice, daily! Homework should be completed each night and turned in on time. Parents, please help students remember this is a responsibility issue as well as an academic one.
Look for midterm reports (academic alerts) after November 11.
Thanksgiving holidays begin November 24
