I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing three day weekend and are all rested up for another exciting week at school.   Here are a few things to remember:   *  For homework this week, we will be working on the hard working vowel 'Ii'.  You can read the letter Ii poem and do the related activity and practice printing the letter i.  We are working on the number 4.  Remember to read or get read to each night and make it on your log sheet.  Review your sight words on a regular basis.  Show and Tell will be on Thursday this week because there is no school on Friday.  Have fun searching for something that begins with the letter Ii.     *  There is no school on Friday, November 11th because it's Remembrance Day.   *  Saint Andrew's is collecting Food Bank items again this year.  District Office sent out a schedule of things the food bank was looking for each week.  Every time a student brings in an item for the food bank, they will get their name in for a draw.    Nov. 1 - 4                  Kraft Dinner Nov. 7 - 11                Peanut Butter, Jam, Cheese Whiz Nov. 14 - 18              Cereal Nov. 21 - 25             Canned Soup, Crackers Nov. 28 - Dec. 2       Canned beans, milk, spaghetti, vegetables Dec. 5 - 9                 Boxes of spaghetti, macaroni; and pasta sauce Dec. 12 - 16              Canned meats, fish   *  Home and School is having a penny drive from Nov. 7th - Dec. 9th.  All proceeds are going towards helmets for students to use during skating.  The class who collects the most pennies in this time frame will win a popsicle party.
