It's Red Ribbon Week: Everyone is dressing up so nicely so far.
We had a lot of students dress in red on Monday.
We had soooooo many silly socks on Tuesday.
We will have to see who wears Animal print or Camo on Wed.
Look for the new timed reading passage to come home on that day too.
Please send in your special snack item on Wed.

Thursday is slushy day... Bring $1.50
Friday is our dress up parade... Wear a non scary costume to school that day but bring clothes to change into when the parade is over.

I also want to say how AWESOME the students' Flat Stanley's look. This is such a fun project I can't wait to see how it turns out. This week we are making our Alabama brochure to put with our flat people. We will address and mail the envelopes next week. AND then WAIT until January for the results.
Have a great week and a safe weekend.
