Dear Everyone,

Our class theme for the spaghetti basket is, Cafe`. Ideas include gift cards to Starbucks, Espresso Mojo, or Mc D's, cool mugs, coffee makers, filters, creamers, various coffee, etc...

I want to thank everyone in advance for bringing in items. Thanks to Mrs. Manis, and Mr. and Mrs. Casto for sending in snacks during SAT 10. All of the kids really appreciated it, and did I.

Thank you,
Mrs. Casto

Code Orange

Update For Code Orange:
I decided to hold off on Code Orange till after SAT 10. I expect every student to have the book by Monday the 23rd. For each day that you do not have the book you will not get reading credit for that day. Normally I am not this strict, but you have had over 3 weeks to get the book by the time we begin reading it.

Hurricanes

Here is the information on hurricanes. Make sure you scroll all the way down. We will go over some of the areas again before our activity tomorrow.
