As the holidays approach, we will spend more and more time reviewing the concepts we have covered the first 90 days of school. I find this approach helps students retain information over the two week break. We will also review the first week back. Homework will exist, but it will be light. A lot of the work will be done in class. I am also looking forward to some of the holiday activities I have planned for next week.

If you are like me, you are busy, busy, busy. It seems like every night and weekend day is filled with more than one place to go or thing to do. I will try and keep this in mind, as well.

You have done a great job volunteering for the party on the back is a list, just to remind you.

I will talk to students about portion control. You can help by making bite sizes pieces of your treats.

The students voted to exchange gifts. Each student (who wants to participate) needs to bring in a paperback book or an activity book. We will exchange them randomly at the party.


Thanks, and have a great holiday season,

We have really been busy in class. Long division—I can remember when I was in school everyone thought this was the hardest thing we learned, and that was in middle school. The students are really getting the hang of it though, and I want thank you for all the work you are doing at home with them. It really shows. Every day the students who are doing their homework and getting it checked by parents are more confident with each problem they do. Again thanks!!

Christmas Party
We have discussed the Christmas celebration, and the students said that they wanted you to make your best dessert and bring in enough to share. I know this sounds like a lot of sweets, but it’s only one day, so I said what the heck. The party will be after lunch on Thursday, December 17. Can you please tell me what you would like to bring by signing below? That way I can organize and send out reminders.
