Week 10 News

Hello Families!

Can you believe the second quarter ends in just a few days? Mrs. Arnold and I are amazed by how quickly this year is flying by. Thank you to all volunteers who have helped make Khan Academy happen, the parents who have stepped in to file papers and do some quick correcting, and all of the communication you have kept with Mrs. Arnold and I throughout the weeks of busy schedules. We are so thankful to have your children in our class this year.

Before we step away from the blog for a couple weeks during the holidays, we want to share a couple notes about this week and beyond with you.

Half-Days:
Just a reminder that school ends at 12:05 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Math Tutoring:
There will be no math tutoring this week due to half days on Tuesday and Wednesday. Math tutoring will resume after Christmas break. If your child is receiving math tutoring and has shown improvement over the past quarter, there is a chance we may be graduating them during the third quarter. Stay tuned for more information.

R&R: 
There will be homework on Monday night; however, there will be no homework Tuesday or Wednesday night. I will provide an optional winter break packet for students interested in completing it. Students who complete any of it will receive extra credit for what they complete. Students who complete the whole packet will be invited to a lunch with their teacher (pizza provided).

Needs: 
Over the break, the cleaning crew will be cleaning the inside of the students' desks. Therefore, every student needs to bring in four plastic shopping bags or two heavy duty reusable bags. Students will bring their reusable bags home after break. The bags are used to hold the contents of their desks until they return after break.

Winter Celebration:
Students will be enjoying the winter celebration this Wednesday. Mrs. Driggs and Mrs. Reynolds have been working hard to prepare for the celebration and have sent out a number of emails about it. You're more than welcome to come to the celebration. The more the merrier! Our celebration will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday and go until 11:55 a.m.

Homework/Lessons:
