Getting ready for the Winter Break

Getting ready for the Winter break is top priority this week. The students are taking a math test over addition re grouping on Wednesday. We will review even more on Wednesday morning. The test will only have 8 questions on it, so I think they will do pretty good on the test. They are finishing some projects and have enjoyed experimenting on a holiday website today during computer time. You might want to let them check it out at home too.

Please remind your child to bring library books on Thursday. They can get new books for the winter break or renew a favorite book that they currently have checked out.

Thanks!

Rocks!!!!


We have been learning about rocks this past week. Your child needs to find ONE rock to bring to school on Monday. The rock needs to be able to fit in their hand. This rock will become their "Pet Rock". They will decorate the rock and use it to fill out a few research papers that are a part of their Natural Resources packet. Please make sure they have their rock by Monday the 14th or they will not be able to complete the class assignments.

Thanks So Much!

Winter Concert Tonight

Hello Families,
This is just a reminder about tonight's winter concert. Please make sure your child is in the tile floor gym by 6:15pm. Feel free to put the store bought items in the wagon in the lobby upon your arrival.

Please remind your child that they need to have RESPECT on their mind while they are waiting in the tile floor gym. I know they will be excited, but it is a time to run around and act crazy.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Have a good Weekend

Hopefully some of you got the chance to check out the websites listed below. You can use this page as a resource for whenever your child wants to get on those websites. Please help your child remember that they have their spelling test on Monday. I really appreciate you taking the time to check the blog and my emails. Thank you! I hope everyone has a nice weekend and stays warm.


BURRRR! Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for outdoor recess each day. They are outside for 20-25 minutes each time, so please make sure they are dressed warm!!
If you could put their name in their coat, hat and gloves that would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!
