One more thing about take-home books. I guess for the last few days the "blue slips" have not been included in the bag. Thank you for continuing to reread these texts three times with or without a "blue slip". If that happens though, if you just initial the pink paper enclosed that will be good enough. Thank you!!
Here is our schedule for this last week of school in 2015:
- Gingerbread houses will be assembled on Thursday, December 17 starting at 12:45. If you haven't sent the item I asked for please send it by Wednesday, December 16 so I will know if we have what we need. If you would like to help, please send me an e-mail. I would love to have helpers.
- The morning of our Gingerbread houses all students will be attending a Christmas movie showing in the gym. First grade will go at 9:30.
- I will also squeeze in a math test on Thursday. The math homework packet for Chapter 5 is due then too!
- On Friday, December 18, Mrs. Vogel and I will join forces for Pancakes and Polar Express. We will make pancakes for our kids in the morning and watch Polar Express snippets throughout the day. At 2:20 on Friday, the entire school will join in a rousing Christmas Sing. We will still squeeze in a bit of learning about Ancient Egypt and having regular reading groups everyday except for Thursday :) I will send home our "fragile, secret gift" with your child on Friday. They have had fun making these. Thank you to those who helped by sending 50 cents with your child.
