November 17 - 21

Oh my! We are so close to Thanksgiving I can almost smell the turkey!!!

A few important tidbits that were not included on the Faulkner Flash:

• Thursday is CLASS PICTURE DAY! We want everyone to be here so we can remember each special person in our class. If you plan on buying the picture, you need to pay on Thursday (pictures cannot be purchased later). Fliers are coming home today (Monday).
• Midterm reports are coming home Friday in the Data Notebooks. This will let you know how your child is doing in reading and math so far in this grading period. 
• Please send in your recipes and Christmas traditions (email would be the best way) - see letter below the Faulkner Flash.

Dear parents,

We will soon be working on a special Christmas project in class. We will be studying Christmas traditions in different parts of the world. I would like this project to include traditions that we have here. So, if you could please send the following (email, handwritten, or typed) by FRIDAY, December 5^th, it would be much appreciated:

* A recipe for your child’s favorite Christmas treat

* One or two paragraphs explaining special Christmas  traditions that your family shares

Thank you for your help on this part of the project! This will be compiled in a book that will also include poetry that we are writing in class. Each child will have a 2-page spread including the recipe for their favorite Christmas treat, a write-up of their special Christmas traditions, and one or two poetry pieces. Each child will receive their own copy of the book.

In December, we will host a poetry reading for where the kids will read the poems that they have selected for the book. It will be a great experience for them to share their poetic voice in front of an audience, and what better audience than family!! If possible, I would like everyone to be able to sample some of the recipes from the book. I will give you more details when a date and location has been set.

Thanks again for your help. Please feel free to send in your recipe and traditions early (that would be of great help to me!). We look forward to sharing the finished result with you!!

Thanks,

Mrs. Faulkner
