I THINK I CAN READ A"BAGILLION" BOOKS!

"Thumbs Up", "A Round of Applause" and a "Few Fireworks" to my friends and their "Bag of Books" that came home Friday.  These books are theirs to keep at home.  I encourage you to make your own book boxes to store these books in.  These are books that they can read to you!  I am so proud of them!!  We decided that we could have a "bagillion" books by the end of the year.   Our new  books will come home in our ziploc bags. Remember to return these so that we can begin filling our book boxes back up.

The children are excited about our trip to the Pumpkin Patch next Tuesday.  Parents who are leaving from the school need to be there no later than 8:00 AM.  We will leave shortly after 8:00 o'clock.  Parents who are not coming to the school will need to meet our group at Dreamfield Farms at 8:45 AM. 
Report cards came home with your child Thursday, Oct. 13th.  We will discuss the report card at your parent conference on Oct. 28th.
