Happy Thanksgiving

In your child’s backpack today is a Turkey book that we made last week. We have been practicing reading the words together at school.  Have your child show you his/her Turkey book and ask him/her  to read it to you or you can read it to them. The words should sound familiar!  Maybe your child can read it to your family on Thanksgiving (while wearing their pilgrim hats) ;)
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy what time you have off with family and friends! See you next Tuesday! J

Stuff the Turkey

Greenwood students are doing their part to collect items for Green Good Neighbors. So far we have collected 166 toothbrushes and chap sticks. 269 hats, mittens and socks- totaling 435 items in Stuff the Turkey!

Thank you to all who have already given.  If you would like to donate any of the above items (new, not used), we will continue to collect them through next week.

Also, it is that time of the year when children need to bundle up.  Please put your child's name inside of coats, hats, gloves, mittens, scarves and boots.  Sometimes things get misplaced and we would like to make sure your child is warm before we send him/her home.  Thank you!

Flag Raising


Both AM and PM classes watched the flag being raised on Veteran's Day.  Mr. Carr, a service member of the Ohio National Guard, shared a little about what Veteran's Day means, then he lead us in saying of The Pledge of Allegiance before raising the flag to the top of the flag pole.

Veteran's Day

Wear RED, WHITE and BLUE to school tomorrow in celebration of Veteran's Day.  Morning students will be going outside after announcements to watch the flag being raised!

Thank you to everyone who came out to conferences.  I enjoyed meeting with each of you and am very thankful that I have so many wonderful and caring parents with great kids! As always, if you ever have any questions about your child's progress please feel free to contact me anytime.
