      Welcome back!  It was great to see all of my students this morning.  They were very excited about being back in school.
      This will be a very busy week as we prepare for our field trip to Walden Farms.  The children will need to bring a pair of jeans and a Ezell Harding t-shirt  to wear to the pumpkin patch.  The children will not be wearing their vocabulary costume.  If you are interested in going to the pumpkin patch please let me know by Thursday.  The cost will be $8.00.  This needs to be returned to me by Thursday.  All parents will need to drive their car and follow the school bus. Please make sure your child brings a sack lunch to school on Friday.
      Please make sure your child reads and returns their library book to school each day.  If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me.
Thanks,
Mrs. Chandler
