Veterans Day Projects

We finished our Veterans Day projects this week!  Each first grader wrote a thank you note that was delivered to Ssgt. Gary Bent.  Ssgt. Bent served our country in the Army and is currently serving in the Air Force Reserves.  He will be deployed again sometime this coming year.  Ssgt. Bent is part of our extended Cove family as well.  His wife and dog, Mrs. Bent and Serenity, work with us here at Cove.  We were happy we could honor Ssgt. Bent for his service to our country and to help him celebrate his favorite holiday! 

We also made our own veterans to hang on the bulletin board outside our classroom.  We brainstormed some adjectives to describe veterans as well.  They worked really hard on all of our Veterans Day projects and were very proud (so are Mrs. Clarke and I) of their work!

Conferences:
A purple notice was sent home this week listing available conference times.  Please return ASAP and indicate your 1st, 2nd and 3rd preferred times.  I will notify you of our scheduled time.  If you have another child at Cove, please indicate this on the notice (include your other child's name and teacher) and I will do my best to coordinate with the other teacher so that your conferences can be scheduled back to back to make the most of your time.  If you need another copy of the notice, please let me know!
