Persuasive Writing Letter - All students have been working hard on their persuasive writing piece. Perhaps because the subject matter involves writing a family member to ask for that present they've been wanting for Christmas! You should see a copy of their final draft somewhere in their binders or Friday Folders today. We're keeping the originals here for their writing portfolios. Look for these!
Diary assignments were shared today and I can't wait to read them over the break. Students really used their creativity for this!
Math News- We are working on two-digit x two-digit mulitiplication. Please practice more of these over the weekend and over the break! It's a process I don't want them to forget! Also, don't forget to brush up on those math facts over break. We are moving into larger problems and it's going to be essential that students stay on top of these.
There are two Math assessments in today's Friday folder that need returned for portfolios. Thanks for seeing that these are returned promptly!
Looking ahead to next week:
Christmas parties - Monday at 2:00 p.m.
Prayer Service - Tuesday at 9:30. We are also working on classroom auction projects Tuesday. The auction committee would like to remind you to send in a recipe for this. Thanks!
Interims were mailed for some students today, and Terra Nova test results should be arriving in your mailbox soon.
Take some time to savor the season! Take a deep breath from all your baking, shopping, and cards, and try to find time to celebrate the reason for the season.
Happy Advent- Next newsletter will be in 2011!,
