A Short Weekly Update!

Hi Parents,

We had a fairly quiet week.  It's the calm before the storm of Holiday excitement and activity!  As a result, my update is fairly short this week!


Make Up Pictures December 6th:
The Lifetouch Photographer will be here Tuesday for school picture make-ups.  Retake pictures are only for those students who were absent on picture day or who purchased a picture packet on picture day and would like their pictures retaken.  If you purchased a picture packet on picture day and  would like your child's school picture retaken, please send me an email for more details.

Timeline Projects Due December 9th:

Your child's "Look At Me Now" timeline project is due next Friday, December 9th.  (I sent this assignment home in your child's Thursday folder on Thursday, November 16th.)  If your child has his/her project done early, feel free too send it in.

Candy Grams on Sale:
I am proud to be a member of Our Teachers Makin' Tracks Relay for Life Team!  We participate in Relay for Life to raise money in the fight against cancer.  We walk both in honor and in memory of loved ones and co-workers who have waged a battle with cancer.  This Holiday season, we are selling candy grams as a fundraiser.   If you'd like to order a candy gram for your child, you can fill out the order form, and send it to school in a sealed envelope along with the $2 payment.  One of our Teachers Makin' Tracks "elves" (we team members!) will deliver the candy gram to your child. Here's a photo of the Candy Grams, and the order form.

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:

  • Reading:  We will discuss the questions good readers ask when they read a story.  We sometimes call this "wondering".
  • Writing:  We will respond to writing prompts and self-chosen topics as we continue to practice capitalization, punctuation, spacing, and letter formation. 
  • Math:  We will continue learning strategies for quickly solving subtraction facts.
  • Science:  We will continue to learn about the adaptations humans, plans, and animals make during Winter.
Enjoy the weekend, Everyone!  It's Cookie Time in our house!!!!
