Week of December 16

Not much for homework this week! 

Hopefully we will see you all at the concert on Wednesday at either 9 or 12:45.


I'm sending home a "Winter Break Reading Challenge" for the break.  For each marshmallow the kids do (read under the tree, read in your jammies, things like that) they glue one paper marshmallow on to their mug.  We're trying to get 100 minutes or more of reading over the holiday!


Have a great break, and enjoy the time with your loved ones!  See you all in the new year.

Week of December 9th

Just a reminder that our Christmas Concert will be next Wednesday, December 18th.  Shows are at 9 and 12:45.  If there is a snow day, it will be Thursday.

Math - there will be an extra practice sheet going home, which will be due Friday.  Keep practicing times and division facts!

LA - we will be starting a "Holidays around the World" project on Wednesday.  Students will work in pairs to research and then present different holidays and traditions in countries around the world.
Keep reading for 20 minutes each night!
Most students have handed in their projects, but many of them have not completed the book summary sheet (click there to download).  Please get these in as soon as possible!

Health - food logs are due Tuesday, make sure you have 3 days recorded.  Bring in a nutrition label for class for us to check out.

We have started a "Random Acts of Kindness" project.  Each student's goal is to do one act at school and one in their 'real life' each day, which will get them 16 acts of kindness by next Friday.  They are welcome to do more that 16, of course.  If we all complete our mission, it will be close to 400 acts of kindness!  That's a pretty amazing number.

In order to practice for the concert, we are switching the class schedules for Monday and Tuesday.  This doesn't much matter, other than the kids will have gym on Monday, instead of Tuesday.

The SRC is selling tickets to win a gift basket, notices have gone home.  Tickets are $2 each, or $5 for 3.

We have access to a fun website for creating comics:  BitStrips.  Students have access to it through our class (code kvms) or Mme McPhee's (code 5Roach).  They are working on comic strips in class for social studies, and are welcome to create comics for any other class they'd like!  Science?
