Talk about feeling loved, overwhelmed, blessed, spoiled, and special ALL at the same time… Thank you for the amazing baby shower today! Mr. Gilbert and I are so grateful for all of your love and generous gifts. How special and memorable to celebrate such a precious time with all of you! THANK YOU!

Don’t forget tomorrow is Donut Day AND Dress Alike Day! Mr. Gilbert and I will be wearing sports jerseys if you’d like to dress like us!…

The Gilberts had such a warm response with their last musical endeavor that they decided to put their talents to work again! This time the Gilbert boys put together a little diddy for you…

Just a reminder to collect “memories” to bring to school tomorrow – remember these can be actual pictures, small items, etc. that you physically bring into class OR they can be digital pictures on your laptop. You do NOT have to put them into your Writer’s Notebook yet. We’ll be doing that in class tomorrow. Your ONLY job tonight is to collect the items and/or take pictures of the items and bring them to class tomorrow. Have fun!

Thanks for the delicious ice cream and the fun time, Celeste and Dr. Kenney!

Thanks for another great week! There was A LOT of extra reading going on and that makes little old Mrs. Gilbert VERY HAPPY! (Well, I guess I’m not so little right now… ha ha) Here are some things to keep in mind for next week:

• My parent teacher conferences begin this Wednesday. I’ll scan in the schedule and post it for those of you who didn’t get to write down your time!
• Sports team pictures on Thursday, 9/25.
• Friday, 9/26, is “Dress Alike Day” AND “Donut Day”.
• My Access “Favorite Book” essay is due by Monday. This can be completed online.

Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend! As always, let me know if you have any questions.

In His service,

Mrs. Gilbert
