For the Week of November 14th

Chess Club

Club #1 meets on Wednesday, November 16th and Club #4 meets on Thursday, November 17th.

Presents with a Purpose

Since the holidays are approaching and many of you exchange presents during this time I thought I might put in a recommendation. Apples-to-Apples, Jr. is a great gift idea for your student. It is fun for the whole family and it provides vocabulary enrichment at the same time. Make sure that when you play the game, you make it a rule that the person who is "it" must state reasons for choosing or not choosing each particular card. This is the part that helps the student to make connections and broaden his/her vocabulary.

Paper Recycling

Did you know that you can help our district earn money by recycling paper here at school? You can bring in any paper (no cardboard please) to the green and yellow bin marked Paper Retriever located in Lakeview's parking lot to be recycled. The more paper we collect, the more money we can earn. The provider of the bin uses the paper to make newsprint, which is then sold to other companies. That is how we are paid to recycle paper.

Thank you for your help (and for helping the environment at the same time!)
