Character Traits of Characters
Our concept of study this week is based on identifying and studying the various traits of characters within selected stories. We will discuss good and bad character traits as we learn how to use various graphic organizers. We will compare and contrast stories with plots that are alike. Students will enjoy discovering and pointing out the differences in our read alouds.
Looking forward to...

We appreciate our Grade Level Coordinator, Amy Thompson! Wow! Thank you Amy for organizing and heading up our Pre-K Thanksgiving Feast. Every parent that helped to make this event possible is truly a blessing to our grade level. Thank you so much to each family for all your support. Our students were able to have a beautiful time of feasting in the classroom with their classmates and teachers. You can locate pictures from the event on your child's Seesaw account. We hope you enjoy your child's pictures.

Dismissal Reminder:
If you find your child must go home a different way than planned, please notify the office by a phone call by at least 2:00 p.m. Teachers and our front office staff do not always have access to email or are busy teaching or helping others. A phone call is required. Sometimes we have only one person in the front office, so we want to provide ample time to be able to meet your needs.
