Winter has definitely arrived!! Please make sure your child is prepared for outdoor play
every day. In addition, make sure
they have shoes to wear in the classroom.
On Friday, December 20, we will be celebrating Christmas
with our annual Eloquence Day fine dining experience. Students are asked to wear their nice clothes to school in the
morning and will be given an opportunity to change when we come back to school
following lunch. Look for a
separate note coming home soon regarding this event!
FIFTH GRADERS AND CHRISTMAS
This year we are
planning an opportunity for our students to be involved in supporting a
charitable organization. Students will be asked if there is an organization
that they would like to suggest.
If there are more than 5 suggestions, the fifth graders will vote for
the top 5. Once the 5
organizations are identified, students will have a chance to purchase a
“ticket” for a friend, teacher, or classmate. Tickets will be sold for $1.00 each. Every ticket will then be put into a
large jar. The last day to purchase
them will be on Dec.19. On the 19th,
we will have a drawing and the name that we pick out will be the name of the
person who will get to choose which of those five organizations will go
to! Therefore, there will be no
student gift exchange. I would
like to ask that if you would choose to honor me at this time of the year that
you put your money toward tickets.
I am looking forward to this opportunity to teach your children about
charity and giving.
Log Cabins
Most
fifth graders have indicated that they will be making a log cabin to show what
they have visualized as we read Sign of the Beaver. The cabins are due on Monday, December 16. If you would like to drop it off at
school in the morning, I will be here by 8:00 a.m.
