Homework and Happenings

We'll be having a Secret Santa Stocking Stuffer the week of December 16.  To participate, your child will need to bring a stocking with their name on it no later than Friday, December 13.  In addition, the children will be assigned a day to be "Secret Santa" and we are asking that on their day each child fill the stockings of each person in our class (26) with some sort of trinket - erasers, gel pens, notepads, etc. The children will get to take their stocking full of goodies home with them on Friday, December 20.  I will send more information in Friday folders, but wanted to mention it early so you could begin planning!

Talent Show in Music Class will be Thursday, December 19.  Children have a form to fill out and return to Mrs. Grant if they'd like to participate.  More information was in the Friday folder.

We will have our 9 weeks reward celebration soon.  This reward is for children with three or fewer checks in their choice card this nine weeks.  If you'd like to help out with the snack, we need boxes of Caprisuns and box of chocolate or powdered sugar donuts from SAMs - wrapped in small packages.  Thanks!!!

Our classroom spelling bee will be December 19th.  Classroom winners will be notified on Friday, December 20.  The school wide spelling bee is Thursday, January 16.  The links for the practice sheets are attached again below.  I encourage children to start studying!!!
