Mrs. Hoover's leaving

Mrs. Hoover, one of our kindergarten teachers, is leaving Joyner. She has accepted a technology position at Wiley Elementary. Her last day will be Tuesday, Nov. 22nd. This week we are collecting special notes, cards, photos or gifts to give to Mrs. Hoover before she leaves. If your family has any items for her please send them in by Friday, Nov 18th. The items will be compiled and presented to Mrs. Hoover next week.

I enjoyed talking with all of your during parent conferences. After Thanksgiving we will begin sending home the "Go-Read" orange bags. They will come home 2-3 times a week. Please help your child have a consistent routine of where and when they use the bags and return them to school the next day with the book, journal and sign in sheet in the bag. These bags should be carried in their bookbags.
Your child will also start bringing home the poems/books they have made and practiced on. These are to be kept at home in a special box or basket that they can reread periodically.

Happy Thanksgiving!
