We had a busy week in the Blue Pod. Thanks for your support with the kids' first experience with the CES book fair. They loved getting to pick their very own books. Another book fair is usually held near Christmas and a final one in the Spring.
If you have already paid for our upcoming field trip to the Alabama Nature Center on Wednesday, November 19...thank you! If not, please send the permission and money ($8.50) as soon as possible. We hope you can join us as a chaperone.Let us know if you have any questions.
We will be looking toward Thanksgiving in the coming days and we will be asking for some help as we dye, paint, and bead Thanksgiving shirts for our CES Thanksgiving Feast on Thursday, Nov. 20. Parents are welcome to come eat with us. The cafeteria staff needs your reservation by Nov. 18 so they can prepare for the crowd! Cost for adult meals that day will be $3.75. You may pay as you go through the serving line.
In preparing our Thanksgiving shirts, we would welcome donations of fall colored fabric paint. The bottles you squeeze are helpful with our little ones as they enjoy painting their own Indian signs as much as possible. We could also use a few bags of pony beads for beading the fringe on our shirts. This is a fun time of preparation for the students as they not only learn about the history and traditions of our Thanksgiving in America, but they strengthen those fine motor skills with all the painting and beading!
Please remember we will observe Veteran's Day on Tuesday, Nov. 11, and there will be no school that day.
Have a great week! We welcome Mrs. Boyer back on Wednesday!!
