Announcements

We hope you all have a restful and enjoyable Thanksgiving and break from 
school.

When we return to school on November 30th we will spend the next three weeks 
learning about our great State of New Mexico. Some of the things we will be 
doing in committeess are reading the Day It Snowed Tortillas, making a Navajo 
rug, creating tin art, assembling an adobe house, learning about the 
tradition of faralitos, researching facts about our state and government, 
sand painting and experiencing traditional New Mexican food. This should keep 
us busy until our Winter Break.

The Monte Vista Mercado is on Saturday, December 5th.  Our class will be 
selling tin ornaments.  The students will make these next week in class to 
sell at Mercado. We need your help as a volunteer to sell the ornaments at 
our table during Mercado.  Our table will be open from 9:00 to 12:00 or until
we sell out. We have three one hour shifts from 9 to 10, 10 to 11 and 11 to 
12. Our table will be in the hallway close to the glass cases in the front 
entryway. Look for sign up forms coming home on November 24th.

We look forward to seeing you at Parent/Teacher conferences held on December 
3rd and 4th.
