THANK YOU!

I wanted to say thank you to every one who donated to the "one for the books" at the book fair. Thank you so much, not only did you add to our classroom library, but helped to donate books to children who don't have the opportunity to have books.
Mrs. Clark

It seems that winter finally hit. Please remember to send your child with a coat to school for recess. The students go outside if the windchill is above 32 degrees. It can be very windy on the playground.
The story for the week is: "A Symphony of Whales." All words contain the suffixes -ly, -ful, -ness, and -less. The words are: beautiful, safely, kindness, finally, spotless, worthless, illness, helpful, daily, suddenly, wireless, quietly, fairness, cheerful, painful, anxiously, thoughtfully, cautiously, tardiness, and breathless.
Make it a great week.

SERVICE PROJECT INFORMATION

Christmas Service Project
2009

As a service project for 2nd and 3rd grades we have chosen to buy hats, gloves, and scarves for a class in north Tulsa. We have been contacted by a teacher whose children come to school in cold weather without proper outerwear. Another church group is purchasing coats for each child. We are supporting that purchase with hats, gloves and scarves.
The classroom is in an alternative school, so most of the students range is grades 1-6 and are mostly boys. Each class will bring a different item for the collection.
Ms. Hinderman’s class will bring scarves.
Mrs. Spears’ class will bring gloves.
And Mrs. Clark’s class will bring hats.
These are low cost items that make a huge impact on the life of a child.
We would recommend that you and your child sit down and formulate a plan for how the child can earn money to pay for needed items. After your child has earned the money take him or her with you to purchase the item. As we all know, the more a child participates in charitable acts, the more likely he or she will do so as an adult.
Thank you for your family’s support of the service project. The due date is December 16th.

I hope that each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It is good to have a full week ahead of us. It is so very hard to fit in everything we need to do in a short week. Our story for the week is Night Letters, the words contains the consonant sounds /j/ and /k/.
The words are: clock, large, page, mark, kitten, judge, crack, edge, pocket, brake, change, ridge, jacket, badge, orange, freckles, advantage, pledge, Kentucky, and kingdom.
Make it a great week.
