I have been ill since Sunday. I hadn't planned on going to the doctor because it's usually spending money to be told "It's just a virus." By Tuesday, I wasn't getting better so I went in and found out I DID have strep! Then I couldn't come back until I'd been on the penicillin for 24 hours which is why I couldn't be back until today. I get VERY sick with strep. I am on the mend... I hope.
Because of my absence, there will be NO SPELLING TEST on Friday. We'll do it next week, and play catch-up with what I missed this week. The story and spelling list go with Exploring Parks with Ranger Dockett. The phonics are the consonant clusters: tr, fl, st, tr, gl, fl, br, sl, cl... We are also learning the two sounds for c (k and s). We'll be practicing Fact and Opinion also.
My kids made Halloween cards to send to the soldiers today. They also helped pack a box of books and another care package. We are spacing the packages so they don't get there all at one time, plus I'm sending to different people in my nephew's unit. Soon we will have the address for another soldier who has just been sent to Iraq. I told her Grandma we will send her some care packages too.
Prizes are needed for the Halloween Honors Party next Friday. I think the cost shouldn't be over a dollar - the pencils, erasers, that type of prize would be fine. Please send whatever you can. I know with the soldier packages, the Stuff-A-Truck and everything else we ask you to do, it's just one more thing. Please help if you can. Thanks so much!
