Important Announcements:
*Next week is a Spirit Week! Here are the special Holiday Spirit Days we will be having:
Monday – Pajama Day (wear your shoes to school and bring your slippers)
Tuesday – Holiday Socks Day
Wednesday – Dress as your favorite holiday character
Thursday – Holiday Hat Day
Friday – Wear your favorite holiday sweatshirt, sweater, or t-shirt
*Wednesday, December 14th will be a Student Council Snack Sale for $0.50. Yum!
*Next week we will be reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I have seven copies of the story. If you have a copy of this book and would like to send it in, you may send it in with your child to use next week. Make sure it is clearly marked with your family’s name. Thanks!
*A note about spelling for next week: If your child scores 100% on the pre-test on Monday, he/she will be excused from spelling for the rest of the week.
*We will be having our Christmas sing along on Friday, December 16th at 3:00 p.m.
*The cold weather is definitely upon us! Many students have been coming to school with only a sweatshirt. Please make sure your child is properly dressed with a warm winter coat, hats, and gloves. Thanks!
*Inclement weather is definitely a possibility as we get into colder weather. If there is a two hour delay on a Wednesday, students will NOT be dismissed early. They will be sent home at the normal time (3:35 for car riders and 3:45 for bus riders).
*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.
