Important Announcements:
*Happy Belated birthday to Kendall! She celebrated her birthday over Thanksgiving Break. Her birthday was on November 25th. Happy Birthday, Kendall!
*Next week is the Santa Shoppe at Delaware Trail. Our class will be shopping during the media center special on Wednesday, December 7th. If you would like your child to participate, please send the Santa Shoppe envelope back to school with the money you would like him/her to spend. If you write a check, please make the check payable to Delaware Trail PTSG. Thanks!
*Next week I will be administering the middle of the year Dibels test to your child. This is a fluency test that also tests your child’s recall of the material that he/she read.
*The end of the second nine weeks is quickly approaching! It will end on Friday, December 16th.
*Book-It calendars were sent home on Thursday, December 1st. Use the calendar to track the number of minutes your child reads. If he/she reads for fifteen minutes, he/she can color in the date on the calendar. In order to earn the free personal pan pizza coupon from Pizza Hut, your child will need to read for fifteen minutes, four times a week. The calendar is due back on December 16th. The program will continue through March.
*Mark your calendars! We will be doing the Micronauts training at the Challenger Learning Center on Friday, March 9, 2012. For this training, we will need at least ten parent volunteers. We will be leaving school around 9:15 a.m. and returning in time for lunch at 11:30 a.m. Permission slips will be sent home closer to time.
