On Wednesday we spent most of Student Council meeting finishing up hundreds of ornaments.  We punched holes, tied string and packaged them up for Mrs. Ellms.  They will go with the donated Trees for Troops.  Here’s a SmileBox with us in action.  Next meeting Wed. 12/2.

Meeting To Do List

• Tie yarn on the Trees for Troops ornaments and package them up for Mrs. Ellms.
• Pajama Day on Friday-do we have time to change the sign?

Who would like to make the morning announcement for the Student Council meeting on Tuesday?  You would have a pass to go to the office and say, “Attention Student Council members:  Please remember to bring in your signed pickup note for tomorrow’s meeting after school.”

Wear your Student Council T-shirts on Friday, 11/13! 
Write it in your agendas! 
Call your answering machine!
Don’t forget! 

Today we put up one side of our road sign.  It was a beautiful day to walk to the sign.  I will post more photos on Tuesday.

On Thursday we finished up our flag.  I cut some foam letters in red, white and blue to label the top and printed out a sign telling everyone what it represents. Next, I would like to put a sign that says, “This flag is brought to you with the help of….”  We couldn’t have done this without the dedication of  Alex, Janaye, Brendan, Caitlyn, Matthew, and Skylar.  We even had a few fifth graders stop by to help Friday morning!   Thanks, Carly D!

Veterans Day–A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Ok, folks…get the word out on the food/shelter drive.  We are way behind our numbers from last year.  We filled at least 17 boxes last year.  We have maybe…7 boxes as of today. 

I spoke with Mrs. Pangburn and she said we could put up a reminder on the sign out by the road.  Anyone want to give up an afternoon recess or come in early to walk out with me to change the sign?? Chat with me in library class or write me in the blog comment. 
Too cold for you?  Sign up to make a morning announcement with Mrs. Bonacio.

Today Alex and I started on the Veterans Day bulletin board.  Please stop by the library to help any morning this week.  We will work from 8:00am to 8:45am.  Alex was a great help and knew just where to find the right materials and what to do next.  Thanks, Alex! 

On Wednesday let’s get together to make the veteran’s flag out of red and white stars.  Alex and I cut a piece of dark blue for the square.  Do you know how many stars and stripes are on the flag?  How many red stripes?  How many white? How many stars?

Our fourth graders gave up their recess time on Tuesday to count out the food drive papers for each teacher.  

Did you mind giving up your recess?  Either way, your help is for a good cause and I am proud of your accurate counting.
