Hope you all had a great ThanksGiving!

This week's homework is a math sheet, science book pages 17 + 18 plus their moon books, spelling words and of course practicing those term cards! Math sheets and science items are due on Thursday. Spelling test is on Friday. And did you kids have science this week? Did they ask you what Syzygy means? (Yes.. it is actually a word!) If they haven't, ask them to tell you what it means. For parents who's kids have science NEXT week, you can ask them on Tuesday night, but not before! We won't have gotten to it until then!

School Budget Meeting

The Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendent of Vicksburg Community Schools will be holding a meeting in the Sunset Lake Library on Monday night at 7:00 p.m. I encourage all parents in the district to attend this meeting. The middle school meeting was poorly attending and since then the admin. is under the impression that Vicksburg parents really have no interest in what is cut and what is not. Based on the conversations I have had with many of you when you have asked me what I know ( I don't know much yet....our meeting is tomorrow morning) I know that this is far from the truth. Please take the time to fill out the survey on the district website and plan on attending the meeting. This is your school for your kids.... your opinions should count more than ours!

Class Reward Party

The fifth grade reward party for Sadowski's class is this Friday. Kids are allowed to wear their pajamas, bring electronic games, ipods etc., as well as blankets and pillows. All blankets and toys will be kept in their lockers until the reward party at 1:30. Please remember that I am not responsible for broken or missing anything and use that when deciding whether or not they can or cannot bring something.

Christmas Donations!

So far we have received over 30 pairs of socks from our class alone! That is awesome! Keep the socks coming so the generous hands kids will have warm toes for Christmas! Remember that we walk to the Generous Hands building on December 15th... Make sure the kids dress for walking and warmth!
