Happy Holidays everyone! It is truly December, the snow is the proof!! I want to thank all the parents of my wonderful students for the amazing contributions to our holiday service project. I was able to fill 4 large boxes full of gifts, gift cards, decorations, and food items. I wish I could see the smiles on our family's faces when they open their presents. Thank you again, so much. We started TGFD this week. "Deputy K" is our instructor and he is awesome. Ask your child about it. There will be homework assignments each week. Please remind your child; I will be reminding them here at school. Here is what's happening this coming week:

Spelling: Lesson 13 – Test Friday

Reading: We will finish assembling our Polar Express ornaments. Please make sure you look at the ornament closely when your child brings it home before the break. They had to look at many aspects of the book in order to construct them. We had fun but we learned a lot, too! Vocabulary quiz on the book will be Tuesday.

Language Arts: We continue our study of Verbs. Test on Unit 3 (Verbs) will be on December 20.

Social Studies: We will finish up Chapter 7 this week. Test will be Friday!

Science: We continue our study of the various body systems.

Math: (Mrs. Klacza's math students, only) We continue our study of Chapter 5 on Division. Our test will be Monday, 12/17.
