Christmas is right around the corner. As a service project, we are
collecting money for Heifer International in an attempt to purchase an animal
for a destitute family. Please ask your child for the letter sent home on
Nov. 30th for details. No donation is too small!
Christmas break will begin with early dismissal on December 18th!
Classes resume on Monday, January 4, 2010.
All of my reading students are required to read and take
tests on a minimum of 2 Reading Counts books per 9 week term. The minimal
level is 5 points and 5th grade lists. A new addition at the
recommendation of our librarian - if a book is 8 points or higher, the level
may drop down to 4. Five points extra credit will be awarded
for each book passed with a grade of 80% or higher over the required two
books. There are lots of wonderful books available so everyone can find
something of interest. Parents, I know how busy life gets, but please
encourage your child to read and take some time to read with them if at all
possible. Research has proven that the best readers are those who read and
are read to at home with their families. HAPPY READING!
