November 27th update

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

  In student mailboxes tonight are a few papers that should come home. Two spelling tests from the last two weeks, A short writing sample. If they don't bring anything home in the next few days be SUSPICIOUS! Some of the kids had low spelling test scores that they need to retake.

Reminder that our class's \"Penguin Patch\" holiday shopping time is Thursday December 13th at 2:45 p.m. Kids who don't have money will be welcome to look.


Christmas party will once again be in the Cafeteria with all 5th grades.  I don't know what we're doing yet in regards to a gift exchange etc.... two years ago we had each child bring in a pair of socks to donate to the generous hands kids.  Let me get with Mrs. Buell and Mrs. Vandermei and see what they would like to do.



Also.... Christmas gifts for ME are NOT necessary.  My greatest gift is being able to spend time with your kids each day and seeing the world again through their eyes.  If however you really want to get something, our class can always use glue sticks, markers and clorox wipes for our desks.  Or Barnes and Noble gift cards so I can get some more books for them for our library.
