This week we will have a field trip to the pumpkin patch at Crab Orchard Museum in Tazewell. We will leave the school at 8:15 sharp. Parents are more than welcome to follow the bus. The cost for students is $11, parents are $5. Me. Paul Dotson will be driving the bus for us. We will be back in time for students to ride the bus home or be picked up. We normally arrive back to school around 2:30-2:45. The school will provide lunch for us and we will picnic under the sheds at the Museum across the road. Don’t forget to bring a jacket and wear comfy shoes. It’s supposed to be pretty chilly this week. 

Please sign and return the permission slip and $11 as soon as possible. 

This week we will also be learning the letter Jj and working on writing our full alphabet and first and last name. 

We will start a new unit in reading so please be studying the Unit 3 sight word list. I will edit this tomorrow and put those up for you. 

We will also be learning the number 9 and reviewing all our shapes in math. 

Our color for this week will be Gray and we will have gray snack on Friday. 

The book fair will be extended for another week and a half. If you would like to send money, the students will be able to buy during their library time.  The librarian asked that we do that so that the students will not lose any class time or other activity time. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful work and I look forward to our fun filled week!
