What’s new in Whalen’s world? December 1, 2009 Auction items needed! The auction is fast approaching on December 17th from 1:30-3pm. This is your child’s opportunity to spend their hard earned BIG BUCKS that they have been earning for making positive choices throughout the school day. Please start to clean out your children’s closets for any toys, books, games, stuffed animals, etc... Your child's loss is another’s treasure! You can also keep your eyes open at Target, Wal-Mart, the Dollar Tree, Kmart, and any other store for good buys on items you feel a third grader would like to spend their Big Bucks on. Any donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you all for helping make this year such a success. Holiday Learning Experience Our Holiday Learning Experience will be on December 18th at 10:45-12:20pm. We will be doing some crafts and games and then following up with a special pizza lunch to celebrate the holiday season. If you are interested in helping out please contact Mrs. Satterfield at beth.satterfield@gmail.com or myself at hwhalen@wcpss.com. Multiplication Madness Students will be beginning to practice their multiplication facts after the holiday break. Please make sure your child is practicing daily the fact they are on so they will be ready for their timed tests on Wednesday’s and Friday’s of every week. Tests will begin after the holiday break! A set of flash cards at home is always a good stocking stuffer and they can be found reasonably priced at Target and the Dollar Store.
