From the classroom...

December 8th, 2009
 
Hello Parents and Students.
 
This week is a full week. We have reading and spelling tests Friday - as usual. Check your child's folder for their word lists.

On Thursday, we will have a Math Fraction TEST. This test will cover simplifying fractions, finding equivalent fractions and adding fractions with like and unlike denominators which includes knowing how and when to find the Greatest Common Factors and Least Common Multiples.

Extra homework this week will give students extra practice before the test on Thursday.

Wednesday is the Christmas shop - students will need to bring in their forms along with their money.

Also, don't forget to bring an ornament for the Christmas tree.


Students and parents are doing a great job with assignment books. Keep up the good work. At the first of each week, three students with completed and signed pages are eligible for a drawing. The three winners get a prize and stamp from the Principal's office.


Christmas Party!!
Next Friday we will be having our Christmas Party. We will have a gift exchange. Boys will bring a gift wrapped and labeled for a boy - girls will bring a gift for a girl. We will draw numbers to choose an unwrapped gift or a wrapped gift under the tree. Please limit gifts to under $5.00 or a slightly used toy or book. Also, students can bring in snack items for our Holiday movie.

We watch old classics - It's a Wonderful Life and/or White Christmas.

Food item suggestions are:
cookies
sausage balls
chips
popcorn balls
etc.
juice boxes or bottles
We have paper plates and cups which should be enough.

Let's have a great week!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Wagner
