Christmas Party

The fifth grade Christmas party is on Thursday, December 17th from 1:30 to 2:30 in the Cafeteria. All of the kids can bring a treat to pass. Even though we will all be together, they do not have to bring more than 30 of their treat. We think that there will be enough variety to go around. The kids will actually be playing in stations, creating holiday art in one.... snowflakes in others... and eating at another so they are not all eating at the same time.

Last Day before X-Mas Break

On the last day of school before Christmas break we will have our regular morning switch schedule. For a chunk of the afternoon, after we clean up the room and our lockers our for christmas break, I would like to have a "Read In." Kids can bring blankets and pillows, and of course, their books. We will read and get caught up on accelerated reader tests.

Important Dates

On December 15 of next week we will be walking to the Generous hands building to deliver our socks. Please make sure you're child is appropriately dressed for walking in the snow.
