Miles and miles of paper chains

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving week.  Hopefully, you haven't stapled your fingers together while making your paper chains; ).

I must say that Thursday was a complete turnaround!  You were all so attentive and quiet.  You all took turns, volunteered, and were very pleasant.  THANK YOU!!!  I'm so glad Teacher Kellie made you those delicious cupcakes and let you eat them.  You deserved them.

We have finally nailed down our Christmas party plans and I think they are super terrific.

Take note of the committees!  Yes, we will be discussing the good, the bad, and the best of committees next week.  So be ready to work with your committee and finalize your to-do lists!

Next week, we hope that Katie B. will be able to give her book presentation.  She has kept us waiting long enough; )!

Also, don't forget to secure a copy of Watership Down.  It is a quick read and a good leadership book.  And yes, it is about rabbits.  This book is due early next year.  That is right around the corner.

Please be working on your volunteer hours.  Teacher Kellie and I want to take all of you on a grand class adventure.  But in order to get your ticket, you need to complete all the class requirements.

Which reminds me, be thinking of what leadership characteristic you would like to teach us about.  The sign-up sheet is far from being full!

Thanks everyone!  Please complete your paper chains and snowflakes.  I can't wait to see them!

Teacher Jennifer
