As I navigate my way through Year Seven as a teacher, I am continuously impressed with the level of enthusiasm and effort your children bring to the learning process. These past three months have been a whirlwind of activity, and I have enjoyed every step along the way. Thank you for entrusting me with the care of your children. I have grown attached to each of them, and we have all become a tight-knit group.
While you enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday break, take some time out from the harried preparations to enjoy your family.
I will be spending the holiday in Chelmsford at my sister’s farm. We all look forward to seeing the newest animals, and visiting with my nieces and nephew. We will certainly spend some quality time playing games, cooking and laughing together. My own kids look forward to our annual tradition of painting a Thankful Rock. We choose a rock from our yard, paint it in harvest colors, and then each of us writes something to express our gratitude. It then goes back in our garden for the year. Although the paint eventually fades, we are reminded each year of all that is important to us.
What’s To Come:
🙂 Tomorrow is CRANBERRY DAY!!! Donations of fresh bags of cranberries are welcome, as are Volunteers! Come in at any point that day to help out!!
🙂 No homework this week – tonight, your children are available to help you prepare for the holiday and long weekend. Put them to work!
🙂 When we return from the holiday, students will be given a book project to complete. They will need to read a just-right fiction chapter book and the project will be due Dec 23. Get a head start on book-choosing, if you wish! Details coming soon to a MOOSE Book near you!
With Thanks,
Mrs. Brooks
