I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! With the really cold weather this past week, I want to remind parents that unless it falls below 20 degrees, kids are going outside for recess. Hats and jackets are highly recommended. If your child has lost their jacket it is likely in lost and found as there are about 100 jackets, sweatshirts, and other clothing items waiting to be found!
Mrs. Sevilla Prepared for Recess!
Important Dates:
November 26th: Move-A-Thon Assembly
November 27th-29th No School Thanksgiving Break
December 13th: Winter Concert
Afternoon at the Movies:
Student Council is excited to offer a viewing of the holiday classic, Elf, on Tuesday, December 10th, 2019!
Our viewing will begin after school in the cafeteria (approximately 3:30 pm) and will end by 5:15 pm. Please make arrangements to have your child(ren) picked up by 5:15 pm at where they would normally be picked up, last names A - J front office and K - Z canopy. There is no fee for this event, but a suggested donation of $2.00 would be greatly appreciated. “Snack Shop” novelty ice cream treats and water will be available for $1 each. Students may bring money to purchase a snack or bring the snack of his or her choice. Proceeds will benefit our school through promoting Student Council activities.
In order to attend, students must bring this completed permission slip/ticket to his or her homeroom teacher by December 10th.
From the Special Education Department:
It is that time of year again where the snow days and delays will become a part of our next 4 months! Please note that if you have a special education meeting scheduled during a snow day it will be rescheduled for another date and time. Similarly, if there is a meeting scheduled during the hours of 8-11 with a delayed opening, your meeting will be rescheduled for another date and time. Thank you for your understanding!

Library News:
The library was a bustling place this short week! We had classes in the library taking notes for an upcoming Westward Expansion unit. Chef Cote hosted a book tasting with the fantasy books we have here at the McKelvie Library and two classes were introduced to Flipgrid with Mrs. Cavanaugh in conjunction with Mrs. Opitz and Mrs. Cote. This social learning platform allows students to video record responses. In this case, the two 5th grade classes will be creating video responses to books they have read! Students also came to relax and read, create with origami, work on a puzzle, and begin to work on a second Rubik's Cube Challenge! It is almost turkey time! The mosaic that we are going to currently be working on is that of a turkey. Stay tuned for images.
During the week, the library acquired 62 new books from Follett (an educational product vendor) as well as several books from our generous PTG! All of these books are currently checked out or are available for circulation. These books include fiction, nonfiction, biographies, and professional titles. We also received a generous donation from our PTG Scholastic Book Fair. These titles are also circulating!
