Hello Parents.

1) Today during Tech Lab, the kids typed this week's journal entry. This is instead of writing, tomorrow, in their Home-School Journals. Please respond by email, and we will print out your child's email as well as your response, on Thursday; then, we'll glue them both into the HSJ.

2) Tomorrow, as you know, we are having "Stone Soup" for lunch. There is always plenty for everyone. There will not be any "hot" lunch available tomorrow besides what the school creates for this Harvest Festival Stone Soup. If your child is sure he or she does not want to eat the soup, etc, your should be sure to pack an alternative lunch.

3) Remember: our class will be attending the Scholastic Book Fair this Wednesday. Most students come with something like $3.00 or $4.00 or $5.00 to buy a book. Please let me know if buying a book this year is a hardship. There are some funds available to help out. Also, I love it when I can tell students, "Your mom emailed me, and she wants you to spend the $5.00 only on a good book -- not on that slinky pen." Just let me know. Glad to be the enforcer :)

4) Remember: no school this Friday.

5) Your child brought home a couple of books today in his/her blue reading folder. Please take a look, and enjoy! Also, please help to find and return any books from last week or before that your child has not yet turned back in.

Thanks.

Take care,

David
