This Tuesday is our Field Trip Day! We will be leaving the school around 9:00 and returning around 12:30. We will eat a late lunch once we return. We are going to dress up for the play. Please remember that the guidelines for dress need to be similar to picture day, no spaghetti straps for the girls, etc. The kids are so excited about going to a "fancy" place in their nice clothes. We have also been discussing our very best manners. You may want to also remind your child to be on their best behavior. We have been reading the story and discussing it as we read. We are going to finish it tomorrow. Several of the kids are already familiar with it, so we have been having some very good discussions. Please email me if you have any other questions.
A great big thank-you to Mrs. Scafe and Mrs. Carney for all of the work they have done for the Christmas party. Your child brought home a red sheet with information about it last week.
Also a great big thank-you to Mrs. Denton and Mrs. Andrews for taking the class to lunch on teacher treat day. I appreciate this so much!

In Math we are starting on subtraction in Chapter 5. Please practice this at home with your child at night. We will begin borrowing this week. The saying you are going to hear your child say often is "Bigger Bottom Better Borrow!" This is the question we ask when looking to see if we need to borrow. This skill is so important, so please review with your child. Remember that they will have their lesson sheets on the keep at home side in their binders.
Have a super week!
