November 23 - 24 Happy, Happy Birthday to Julianna on Thanksgiving Day!!!
Dear Parents,
Mr. Clark has been practicing with the children for the Christmas musical
they perform each year. The Christmas show will be on Thursday, December 3rd
at 8:00 a.m. There is an admission fee this year of $3.00 each or $9.00 per
family. Ticket are on now on sale in the office. The children are to wear
dress code or nicer such as, Christmas attire.
I will be administering the Dibels assessment to all students this week.
This is an oral assessment that test phonemic awareness, phonics, oral
reading fluency, and comprehension. This test helps me to monitor my
students and make sure that they are making adequate progress.
A "Gingerbread boy/girl" Family project will sent home this week. This
project will need to be turned in by Thursday, December 3. Please help your
child to use their imaginations and any materials you have sitting around the
house to decorate thier " Gingerbread Man/Woman." Please encourage neatness.
Some examples of projects in the past included Gingerbread projects dressed
like Santa, and elf, football players, cheerleaders, Miley Ray Cirus,Elvis,
ballerina, soldier, and also a regular gingerbread boy/girl, etc. It's hard
to remember all the different ones that have been sent in over the years, but
I'm sure you get the idea. I hope your family will have fun spending time
together on this project. Thanks for all your help!
Thanks to you the children will have Thanksgiving breakfast on Tuesday
morning. We will begin to set up at about 7:25a.m. This will be after morning
announcements and will give me the time I need to record attendance and turn
in the lunch count. The children will have plenty of time to eat before they
go to the gym for the program, Kids on the Block, at 8:35. Thanks to everyone
whose schedule will allow you to come in and set up for the breakfast! I look
forward to seeing you again.
I am expecting a great two day week! Blessing are wished for you and your
family over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Thank you,
Mrs. Randolph

letters and numbers. If your child has difficulty with reversals, please help
him/her make corrections on their school work when it comes home on a daily
basis.
