Holiday Musical Info

Hi Parents-

     The holiday musical is fast approaching! I sent out an email from our homeroom mom, Kelli LaPointe, but in case you missed it we have ordered shirts for every child in the class. We will distribute shirts in our classroom the night of the event. Also, please make sure your children are practicing the songs from the CD sent home with your child a few weeks ago. Additionally, if your child has a solo or speaking part, it is imperative that they know their parts. I received a very disappointing report from our music teacher, Mr. Smith, who has informed me that the students in my class are unprepared and do not know their parts or words to the songs. Please help him in preparing for the musical by practicing at home.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Ms. Walker

Paper Towel Rolls Needed!

If you have empty paper towel or toilet paper rolls, please send them in by Monday, as I would like to make totem poles with the kids to represent the Native Americans of the Pacific Coast.

Will Ms. Walker Kiss a Duck? :)

That's right...start emptying your piggy banks if you would like to see Ms. Walker kiss a real duck at the homecoming pep rally on December 2nd. All proceeds from the fundraiser will support CCA's homecoming events. Fundraiser begins tomorrow! The elementary teacher with the most money raised will give the duck a big smooch ;)

2nd Grade Thanksgiving Feast

Hi Parents-

    Our second grade Thanksgiving Feast will take place on Friday, November 18th. A letter was sent home with your child on Thursday, November 3rd outlining details. The feast costs are separate from our party fund as stated in our initial letter. The cost of the feast is $5 per student (feast details are in the letter) and is due no later than Friday, November 11th. Also, please fill out the letter and let us know if you will be able to assist in decorating for the feast or if you will be in attendance.

   If you have a financial hardship and are unable to provide $5 for your child's feast, please let me know as soon as possible. I will make arrangements, as I don't want any child to miss out on this exciting event!

Best,
Ms. Walker

Magazines Needed!

If anyone has old magazines that they are no longer using, we would love to have them for a science activity. Please send them in by Tuesday if you have any.

PS-- please make sure they are appropriate for a 7 yr old to review e.g. Better Homes, Southern Living, Real Simple, Cooking Magazines etc. are typically safe bets! (Or if you can "screen" them beforehand and tear out ads that are alcohol-related or have sexual content).


Thanks!
