     Hi there.  Can you believe that we are almost half way through second quarter?  Before you know it, we will be half way through fourth quarter.  I can't believe how time flies.  
     Anyhow,  I wanted everyone to be aware of the Share Fair that is coming up on November 3oth.  Your child should have brought a couple of letters home, explaining what they need to do for this project.  Right now, students need to be conducting an interview with either a grandparent, an aunt or uncle, or you.  I sent home a list of questions that they need to ask in their interview, so if they haven't done this yet, will you please remind them? The interview questions are due next Tuesday, Nov. 17th.  If the students need extra time to meet up with the person they want to interview, over Thanksgiving, then I can give them extra time.  If by chance you are confused about how to put the poster together, or what the Share Fair is, please feel free to contact me at any time and I will be more than happy to explain it to you.  You can also come into our classroom to view some previous Share Fair projects.
     The students have earned a class party for their awesome behavior.  This party will be next Wednesday, November 18th.  We will have a game day, so if they want to bring in some games from home to play- that is okay with me.  Students can also bring in snacks if they choose to.  I will be sending a letter home, next week to tell you more about it.
     The first Reading Revolution, for second quarter, will be due on Tuesday, November 24th.  If your child has not already turned their first one in, please remind them that it is due before they go to Thanksgiving Break.  I have a lot of students turning in 4 to 5 books a quarter, but still have some that haven't gotten their first two in yet.  Please check with your child to see if they are keeping up on their Reading Revolution.
     Thanks for everything you help me out with.  You all have great kids and I just love the heck out of them all.  Sincerely,  Mrs. Little
