Monday...Let's Catch Up!

We spent some time this morning helping Mr. Wilhorn get caught up with all that happened on Friday. Now it's my chance to catch you up with Friday's Newsletter.

Memory and Spelling
Memory slips and spelling lists are coming home today. It's a normal week concerning assignments, but it's a short week. No school Friday. Kids, don't procrastinate!

Speed Stacks
Thursday after school is the World Record Speed Stacking attempt. See the school newsletter for more information. The fourth grade boys and girls have basketball practice. We will take time that day setting up Kuechle Hall and doing our part to break the record. Their 30 minutes will count even if it's not after school.

Battle of the Books
Permission slips are coming home today. There will be more information in tomorrow's school newsletter like last week's. Students who wish to participate are to organize their own teams, get permission slips signed, and turn in their forms as teams to Mr. Wilhorn. The sign-up deadline is next week on Wednesday.

End of the Quarter
Thursday is it! The End of Quarter 1! All assignments must be turned in by Thursday or they will be zeros. Kids, make sure it's done and turned in...especially memory assignments.

Winter!
Now that winter is here, apparently, please make sure your child has the right clothing for recess. Hats and mittens/gloves are expected in cold weather. Boots and snowpants are expected when the snow flies. Kids won't be allowed outside without the right clothing.

I wrote that out pretty quick. Hopefully it's clear, and I didn't miss anything important.
