The Toucan Squawk, October 3rd - 7th

Hello families!  I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.  The students are continuing their work about the Fall season, and have working through their STAR Reading and Math tests.  These will be completed by Thursday, so I can send home their results reports on Friday, as well as have their levels stapled into their AR folders for when they get back from the break. 
When they return from Fall Break, they will go home with their November Family Project.  This one, like the leaf project, will include the explanation letter and the turkey they need to decorate.  With this project, they will need to decorate a turkey who needs some protecting.  The letter will explain everything, but just like the previous project, it's going to be a lot of fun to see those turkeys decorating the classroom.  At this time, they will also be going home with a white manila envelope.  The information inside is for your eyes only, and will need something filled out and then returned.  More explanation will be enclosed in the envelope, but it's going to be a super fun project for you to do.  Its results will eventually find their way back to your child.  In the mean time, however, keep your eyes peeled for that envelope.
