Dear Parents,
My class had a great Halloween Party and enjoyed eating hot dogs. Make sure
that your child does not come to school with candy. Keep the sweets at home.
Please continue to check your child’s folders. If you see paper is needed,
please replace some more; however, do not throw away any worksheets. We will
clean the folders in the class. Supplies are running down. Your child needs
the following:
Reading
Our reading stories center around food ( my favorite subject). Friday, at
2:30 o’clock, we will have Foods of the World Festival. I am asking for each
student to bring in his/her family’s favorite dish. Some dishes have been
passed down for many generations. In my family, nacatamales is a dish from my
mother’s family. I will bring two of them to share with the class. I do not
want for you to cook for the entire class. Just send enough so that each
child will have a teaspoon full. You can also help by sending in drinks,
plastic forks, or paper products. You are invited to attend and help. Thanks.
