Announcements

          November 1 is our third grade PTA performance.  Third graders in my 
room will present from 6:30-7:00.  Come for the PTA meeting and stay for the 
program.       
          Our third grade newsletter is sent via email every Thursday.  You 
will find information about our daily schedule and any special activities 
that are happening for third grade at school.  You will see the first report 
card coming home in the yellow communication folder on November 3.
          I have sent home a permission and medical release form for you to 
sign and return, so that your child may attend the play, "Peter Pan and 
Wendy", at the Performing Arts Center at McNeil High School.  We will leave 
at 9:15 AM on November 29 and return to school before lunch.
          Our Thanksgiving break begins November 23 and the students return 
on Monday, November 28.  Our winter holiday (Christmas), starts on December 
16 and the students return on January 3, 2012.  
          This year, I have been very happy with the manner in whcih my 
students conduct themselves and come prepared to learn every day.  They 
receive daily compliments on how well they follow our school rules from other 
adults in the building.   
          Please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns that you 
may have about your child.  I am very good at returning your emails with the 
information you have asked me to clarify, but I don't usually have time after 
8:00 to sit at the computer.  If there is something important that you must 
let me know, call and leave a message.  There is a red signal on my phone 
which gets my attention.  Mrs. Savory is able to interrupt the class with an 
announcement if it is necessary to get my immediate attention.
