Greetings one and all,

Happy "early" Thanksgiving.

Homework for tonight:

2. Read for a minimum of 20 minutes tonight.

3. Math Test over Unit 3 tomorrow. Your yellow mid-Unit Tests are your best study tools, but your homework booklets should also go home.

Pictures were in today and are going home. Also if you took retakes those new order forms are going home tonight as well. Get those back ASAP

Within the next 2-3 weeks Yankee Candle Orders should be in. We'll give you the exact date when we find out what it is.

Thanks folks. Have a great Monday. Tomorrow is the last day before the break.

Here is the homework for tonight:

1. Math: NO MATH DUE TOMORROW (unless you forget 85 and 86 which were supposed to be due today, they are now due tomorrow)
*Final Unit 3 Test Tuesday the 23rd

2. Writing: final drafts of the "choice" writing are due tomrrow

3. Science: The next couple days are the last days to bump that Science grade up by turning missing work in/improved work in
*(Check with your kids to see if this note applies to them.)

4. Get back to your 20 minutes of independent reading tonight!

That's all for today folks.

Take care.

Greetings one and all,

Here we are the evening before Camp. I hope all of you have the packing list and are ready to go. A couple quick reminders from me:

1. Do your math homework TONIGHT! (pages 85 and 86) You will not have the energy to do it Wednesday night. (remember it's due Thursday)

2. Remember your SACK LUNCH for tomorrow. Make sure all things in that lunch can be thrown away/recycled. There will be no microwaves for you to use.

3. Extra Garbage bags are always useful. They are great for putting your sleeping bag and pillow in. Put a strip of Duct Tape on the outside with your first and last name, and you'll be good to go.

4. Remember PLEASE NO EXTRA FOOD. NOT EVEN GUM!!!! Chipmunks!

5. Label everything!

6. Remember, good layers are a key. Gonna be mostly cloudy and in the 40's and 50's. Layers that are warm are essential for the morning and can be taken off as the day goes on. Pack a stocking hat and gloves as well!

7. Remember Pick up time will be be around 5:30pm on Wednesday!

Finally, remember that we are ambassadors for Peach Plains Elementary School. We will be respectful to nature and those who run the camp at ALL TIMES!!

Thanks so much, get a great night's sleep and I'll see you all in the morning.
