Week of Dec. 14 - 18

Can you believe this is the last week of school for 2015?!  I know I can't.  It's going to be a busy week full of concert preparation, learning, and maybe a little fun thrown in for good measure.


Notes:

• If you are unable to attend your child's winter concert in the evening, you are welcome to come to their dress rehearsal the morning of the same day (A-K last names on Wednesday, L-Z on Thursday).  See below for times.
• Reminder that choir students attend both nights of the concert - parents please attend only one night to save room for other parents.
• This is the last week for our classroom change drive.  I am asking that money for the change drive be here by Thursday so I can purchase a toy that evening and show it to the kids on Friday.  I will match the kids' donations up to $20.
• We will not be having a class party this week as we have been doing special little things every day throughout the month of December.  Ask your child about some of the things that have come out of our Christmas socks!

• Math: We are going to finish the time unit with a quiz tomorrow and we have been simultaneously working on symmetry.
• L.A:
• Writing: Our poetry unit wraps up this week.
• Spelling: Continue working on Lesson 6 - no assessment this week as this is a review.
