Notes

The Secret Buddy gift exchange will start next Monday.

This week is Spirit Week!! Monday -Shades' Day, Tuesday - PJ Day, Wednesday - Wacky Tacky Day, Thursday - Hawaiian Day, Friday - Western Day.

Please remember to sign up for the Talent Show by Friday.

6S is making progress on completing some major assignments before the winter holiday. Everyone should complete their literature response to Espernaza Rising by next Monday, and most everyone should be finished with their Ancient Civilizations project by Friday. We will also be putting the finishing touches on our Farmfolks book tomorrow. I'd really like to get everything finished this week, so that we can have some time before the holidays to enjoy each others' company and reflect on out first few months together. I hope that will happen.

Joke of the Day

A doctor and a dentist fell in love with a same girl. One day, the dentist had to go away for one week to work, so he gave the girl seven apples and asked her to eat one apple everyday.
Know why?
An apple a day keeps the doctor away!
