Week of October 19- Homework

Is this fall or winter?

The students had a very good week.

We visited the Danvers Public Library and chose 2 books each. We will be visiting the library every other week on Wednesdays. Our next visit will be on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 around 11:00AM. If your son/daughter has any overdue books or fines, please reconcile this with the library prior to our next visit.

Pajama Day was fun and we had some very interesting attire!

We are progressing in our group reading book, Charlotte's Web, completed the first 3 chapters and performed very well on our 1st story quiz!

A special thank you to Sam Kirby's mom, Jeanne Argento for bringing in their new puppy, Lulu, a Westie, last week. This was a special treat and the newest member of Sam's family is adorable, but not as cute as his sister Kate!

Also, another "thank you" to Sam's mom for printing very "cool"name labels for Group 2's notebooks and workbooks and supplying us with 3-ring binders! We are very appreciative of her generosity.

A very special guest, Sharon Clark, will visit Group 2 on Thursday to educate the students on the founding of the Clark School!

In true Fall fashion, we are planning to go "pumpkin picking" this coming Friday, 10/23, at Connors Farm. (However, our day may change if the weather fails to cooperate!)
