Week of November 5

There are so many exciting things going on right now at school and outside of school!  Take a chance to talk with your learner about some of these special and important events!

-Election Day
Our E Time last Friday was all about who the president is, the importance of the president and the upcoming election.  Each student voted for who they wanted to be president.  Do you know who your student voted for?  We learned the names of both candidates, how to cast a ballot and what it means to vote!
-Grandparent's Day
Discuss why Grandparents are special and have your child share some special memories they have made with their grandparents and tell you why they are important to them.
-Veteran's Day
We will be discussing what a soldier is and the importance of soldiers in preparation for Veteran's Day.  On Monday, November 12, Austin Elementary will have a Veteran's Day Assembly.  This is a wonderful opportunity for you to discuss the importance of this day with your child.
