Week of December 19, 2011

Exciting events in our classroom: I sent home a note last Friday about our change in the date for our Christmas Party.  It is now in the afternoon of Thursday, December 22.  Girls should bring a "girl" present and boys should bring a "boy" present to exchange.  If you would like to send a Christmas treat or beverage to share with the class, those are welcome too! The Christmas store is Tuesday, December 20.  Everything at the store is 50 cents.  Students can purchase items for anyone on their list as long as they have the money for it.  This is also a good place for your child to buy their class Christmas present. The Baby Jesus Party turned out very nice.  We appreciate everything that was brought in.

Focus areas for the week: Religion – Chapter 4 test (types of sin)  Language Arts - Daily 5/CAFE Math – Multiplication/Division (Please help your child practice their facts!) Science - Time for Kids Social Studies - KIND news Art -  Christmas activity  Spelling List usually worth family piece conversation whether special course shown around

Dates to Remember: Mon. Dec. 19 - Christmas Caroling Tues. Dec. 20 - School Christmas Store Thurs. Dec. 22 - Class Christmas party Dec. 24 - Jan. 2 - Christmas vacation

I hope that all of you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  Drive safe and enjoy your time with your family. We must be working hard this year because we have already run out of pencils!  If you are able to donate another box of pencils to our classroom, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks so much for all your support! Have a great week! Mrs. Worrall J
