Christmas Tree
I was wondering if anyone had a small artificial Christmas tree that I could borrow to use in our classroom. (I have one in storage that I normally use but I have no idea where it is right now or if I can even get to it.) I would also need lights for the tree if it is not pre-lit.
I am asking that each child bring an ornament to decorate our tree. Please make sure to put their name on the ornament so that I can return it to the right person. This does not have to be a new ornament. It can be one that you already have at home that they would like to bring to school. I will send all the ornaments back home the day of our Christmas party. I am asking for all ornaments be on the tree by the Friday after Thanksgiving break (December 6).
We will have our Christmas party on December 20th, but I am not sure of the time. As soon as I find that out I will let you know.
I will post about our Christmas party, play, and how we will do presents for our party after Thanksgiving Break.

Lunch Menu and Prices
Please check the homework folder for the corrected lunch menu and a price list.
I will try my best to explain the pricing:
Tomorrow's lunch is baked spaghetti, steamed broccoli, whole kernel corn, tuna salad, and chicken sandwich. If your child wants baked spaghetti, corn, and a drink it will be purchased as a KIDS Entree+1 side+1 drink for $4.00 plus tax. If they get more than a "kids" serving it will be $5.00 plus tax. If they want just the entree but no sides or drink it will be $3.00 plus tax.
A kid's serving is one spoonful and an adult serving is a heaping spoonful. I will be watching when they are fixing their plates to make sure they are getting the right amounts.
If you have any questions please let me know and I will do my best to find out an answer for you. I hope we all get this figured out and running smoothly soon. We (teachers and lunch ladies) are learning so please be patient with us all!
