Happy Tuesday!

We have a few special events that are coming up next week so I wanted to be sure that all of the field trip forms are in and everyone is set to go.  If you have not returned the yellow Warm Springs Field Trip form or the White In-House Performance Field Trip Form, please do so as soon as possible!  While the  warm springs field trip (yellow form) is not until March, the deposit on the trip is due on the 12th, so we need to have all of the forms and money in.  Thank you in advance for your help with this.  If you are not sure where you put the form, let me know and I can send another one home tomorrow night.

Next Week:  

Tuesday - And Then They Came For Me.  This performance is in school and an in house field trip form (white form) is required to attend.  These were in last Thursday's folders.  If you need another form, please ask and I will send that home tomorrow night.  

Wednesday - Symphony.  We will be going downtown for the symphony.  Please dress appropriately for the occasion.  The forms for this trip were sent home in the beginning of the year.  This trip is rescheduled as there was an issue with the scheduling of the original date.  

Friday - Wellstar Lesson.  We will be having a nurse from Wellstar come to teach a lesson on nutrition.  There is no permission form necessary for this free program.  

OK.  I think those are the big ticket items.  
Now for the daily homework...

Reading:  Read Chapter 10 in Esperanza Rising
WW #11 E & Study for the Quiz  Content area words are: crocheting, zigzag, listless, alliances, and nationalism  (Thank you for the reminder!  😊)
