It's Almost Christmas Break!

Hello!

This week, we wrapped up majority of our work for this 9 weeks- Now we can look ahead to next week's festivities!

Monday will be a full day and the rest of the week will consist of half days. We will have a class pizza party for lunch on Monday so you will not need to prepare a lunch.

Tuesday will be our book buddy party! Each student needs to bring in a wrapped book for their book buddy or buddies by Monday.

On Wednesday, we will have our class Christmas party around 9:45. We are going to do a fun little gift exchange where each student brings in a $5-10 gender-neutral gift and we will swap. Please bring these in wrapped by Tuesday!

We had the canned food drive this past week and our school brought in over 1,000 cans. This means students get to wear jeans and an Ezell Harding t shirt or a Christmas shirt. On Friday, it will be a pajama day and the school will get together to watch a Christmas movie.


It was a wonderful week but I have a feeling next week will be even better! Enjoy your weekend :)

It's officially December!

       We wrapped up lessons on weather changes, historical fiction, and geography of Europe and South America. Be sure and check out our new artwork in the hallway. After learning about idioms, students were to choose an idiom, find the meaning, and draw a picture to represent it. Our other new addition in the hallway is our would you rather Christmas project. Each student received a different would you rather prompt that was pertaining to a Christmas topic. Their creative writing responses were so clever and I encourage you to stop by and read them!


I just want to inform you all of the schedule for the next few weeks.

The canned food drive is going on now so please please please bring in cans for our class!

The Book Fair is this upcoming week (December 4-8). Feel free to come and look at books, especially for your child's book buddy!

For our Christmas presents, each child will bring in a gender-neutral $5-$10 gift- it can be a toy, a game, etc. Please bring these in wrapped by Monday, December 11th!!

On December 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th, we will have half days. On Wednesday the 13th, we will have our class Christmas party- it will be around 9:45 A.M. On Thursday, On Friday the 15th, we will have a movie day as a school. Students are welcome to wear (appropriate) pajamas but please do not bring pillows or stuffed animals.

For this upcoming week, we will wrap up all of our lessons before Christmas break- we will have our usual weekly tests along with Math and Science. I am excited for all the fun events that we have coming up in just a few weeks!
