Penguin Patch Holiday Shop

Week 15 Update

Good afternoon!

I cannot believe that Thanksgiving break is already here! We had so much fun with our fall centers today. Your child brought home some pumpkin play dough today that they made, if they have it in their backpack you will want to take it out and keep it in the refrigerator so it does not mold! We don’t want smelly backpacks when we return from break!

Reminders:

• ·         I will be placing a Scholastic Book order on November 27^th. Books are GREAT Christmas gifts for the kiddos, and you can find some really great deals on books through Scholastic. We will also be doing a book exchange at our holiday party, so this is a great way to get a book! Girls will be exchanging books with girls, and boys will be exchanging books with boys.  
•        If you would like to order a book go to https://clubs.scholastic.com/home and type in our class code Q79JX. When you order through our class, we get new books for our classroom library!
• ·         The next No Excuse Words and Vocabulary quizzes will be on Friday, December 8^th.
• ·         Our reading focus after the break will be dramas, and we will continue to learn about opinion writing.

I hope you all have a wonderful, and restful Thanksgiving. If you are traveling, safe travels! I am thankful for each of the little turkeys I get to teach each day! They make my heart happy!
