Happy Thursday!

It was great seeing you all last Friday at our parent-teacher conference.  Your daughters are doing so well.  I'm really proud of our successes so far this school year!  Everyone has worked so hard this week getting ready for our FIRST spelling test...I know we're going to do well tomorrow!!

This week we had Dovie Thomason, a story teller and author, come to Calvert to tell stories about her native culture.  We also had a visit from Mrs. Nichols for a character lesson and a mystery reader on Monday (pictures will be posted soon).

A Look Ahead:

Next week’s spelling words are going to be: it, in, is, his, him, sit, with, will, then, & went.

We will be starting our first composition next week. The title will be The Sun. 

On Monday, we will meet up again with our 10th Age Buddies for a chance to write letters of appreciation to Calvert staff members, thanking them for all they do for us.

Friday, November 22nd, is a Purple Friday Dress Down Day.  We will also participate in a "Calvert Buddy Day" with the Middle School on this day.

Monday, November 25^th we are going to see the 10^th Age play!

Tuesday, November 26^th school closes at 12:30pm.  **** Because we are not celebrating Grandparent’s Day, we are going to make our own fun that day.  The students will rotate to different Thanksgiving themed stations.  We will finish the day by making a Thanksgiving Trail Mix and watching a movie in the auditorium.
