We will get back to school for our regular lunch recess.  If you would like to join us, please let me know.
On Friday after lunch, 11/16, we will have a sub, Mrs. Threet.  I will be attending my daughter's Thanksgiving Feast. :)
We have a special Grandparent (Or older person) Interview Project due after Thanksgiving break.  I will also attach a copy of the interview questions.
