Last Friday in November!

Today we had a great end to a long week for us. With conferences being so late on Tuesday we were all feeling pretty exhausted. Especially with the upcoming holiday weekend next week, we were all feeling ready for the weekend.

Today we had a vocabulary quiz and a spelling quiz. We also had our Thanksgiving raffle assembly this afternoon which was a lot of fun. It was hard for some of the students to understand how they could buy so many raffle tickets and not win anything. That is definitely a hard concept to understand, especially for younger students. And really, how do you help them understand? I suppose it is just something that will come with age and experience. It may be a good talking point for the dinner table, though. To hear from family members that we always don't get what we want, and that we don't always get to win is an important concept to understand.

Looking ahead, we have a short week coming up next week with the Thanksgiving holiday on the horizon. Monday and Tuesday are standard full days. Wednesday, however, is an early release day with students out of school at noon.

I hope you all have fantastic weekends and can't wait to see those smiling faces in school in Monday! Rest and stay healthy!
