Dear Parents, 


I hope you're enjoying this long weekend.  These cooler days do make it seem like Thanksgiving is almost here.  It will be Christmas before we turn around.  I want to remind you that the children will wear pioneer clothes the day they return to school after Christmas.  


I have been encouraging the children to practice their math facts and have added a new link under the math category.  Look for the link to www.honorpoint.com as an additional site for individualized practice.


Thank you for sending your children to me.  I am thankful for the time we have together.

Week of Nov. 7th - 11th

I really enjoyed the field trip to Ft. Toulouse and hope you did.  The weather couldn't have been better and the presenters were in full force.  I hope the children enjoyed the experience and learned something in the process.

This will be another short week, as Friday, Nov. 11th is a holiday.  It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  Isn't there a saying about time flying when you're having fun?

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I hope you were able to see the pumpkins and posters on display this week.  They certainly had everyone in school excited.  Please look at the Trinity home page and enjoy the slideshow. I showed it to the children and they would probably enjoy seeing it again.
