November is upon us. The kids and I put our calendar together for this month. As we put on the "no school days" one of our kids mentioned that we have 15 no school days this month. Between weekends, Thanksgiving and work days for conferences this month will fly. We have lots of important things happening this month. Please check your child's Friday Folder for your conference time. This month we will be learning about using manners. We will practice this learning at a special friends feast on November 20. We will dress in fancy clothes and attend the fancy restaurant called, "Wright's Restaurant". It is a really fun time for the kids to use their manners and enjoy each others company. I am looking for some help to be able to pull this off. We will need food for our restaurant and five servers. I do limit this to only adults as I want the kids to focus on each other and practice their restaurant manners. They will be all ready for your family feasts if you have them!
