Diversity Project and Feast Updates!! 11/15


·       Diversity Projects are due tomorrow!!  No late projects will be accepted.  Make sure to click the link at the top of our 4th grade blog to sign-up for your child’s dish.  This will help us make sure we have an even distribution among the three classes.  Thanks!!

·       Diversity Feast is Monday!  Please make sure your food is here by 12:15pm if it needs to be warmed.  If it’s ready and hot, make sure it’s here by 12:30.  If you are sending food in the morning, please make sure it's labeled with your child's name and teacher's name, and instructions for reheating, if necessary.   You must clearly indicate if there are nuts in your dish, as we have several nut allergies!  We have limited fridge space, so if you can send items in crock-pots to keep warm, that would be helpful.      

·       Spelling Test 9 is Monday. Please remind your child to review their Words to Learn, Word Preview words, and their notes each week.  We encourage you to use the blog for extra activities and practice.  http://hutchings4th.blogspot.com

·        We will be going on two field trips in December.  If you have not already sent in your child’s permission slip and $13 donation to cover the cost, please do so as soon as possible.  Thanks!
