Christmas Gift Giving

We have identified the top 5 charities as Feed My Starving Children, Charity Ball, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Love Inc., and March of Dimes. Tickets will be for sale every morning recess between now and next week Tuesday, Dec. 14. You will be able to purchase them in the hallway by Mrs. Chateau’s room. You will also be given a generic “card” and a candy cane to give to the person you are honoring with tickets.

Merry Christmas!!

Log Cabins

The log cabin assignment was given today. I believe enough information was given to the students regarding this assignment, but please feel free to contact me if you have questions. There is an optional assignment if this simply does not work for you.

Conferences

The next round of conferences is scheduled for January 17 and 18. Students will only be scheduled for a conference if a parent or teacher requests it. Information regarding these conferences will be sent home with the students on Friday, Dec. 3.

Penny War

We have decided to let the kids continue to gather up change until Monday, Dec. 6. All coins must be in the jars by 8:40 a.m. so we can start rolling our coins at that time. We are on a mission to WIN this thing!

IXL

All students have been given a username and password to use a math web site called IXL. There is a link to it from my blog. We will be using it for math RTI, but you can use it at home to review math skills as well. Usernames and passwords have been written in each individual planner.

Popcorn Friday

Tomorrow, Dec. 3 is a popcorn day. The cost is 50 cents per bag if you have not prepaid.

Spelling

With these two short weeks, I have not been able to find ample time to work on spelling lesson 9 with the kids. Therefore, there will not be a test tomorrow which is Friday, Dec. 3.
