Dear Families,

We have such a beautiful community of learners. November is the month we focus on being thankful for many things we have in our lives. Since the beginning of the year, we have practiced giving community gratitude at the end of each day. As the weeks have gone on, we are beginning to hear in-depth gratitude. We would encourage you to practice at home as well.

Highlights From the Week

• We saw progress on our student’s spelling test this week, even on Halloween! Thank you for practicing with your student at home.
• Fire Safety Assembly
• The students have been hard at work practicing their lines for our Parent Presentation in two weeks. This week we focused on getting those lines down along with learning movements to the play. We are excited to present this to our families!

Upcoming Events/Reminders

• November Home Projects will begin on Monday, November 6th, 2017. Please see the post labeled “November Home Projects” to see when your student will be presenting.

As always, thank you for all of your support at home. Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or comments.

With gratitude,

Ms. Lana and Ms. Carolyn
