Let’s keep these kids learning over Winter Break. Starting today until the end of break there is a contest for Mrs. Keebler’s class. There will be prizes for those who spend the most time on MobyMax over the break, We will continue our contest into January to help us practice for the upcoming NWEA test at the end of January. Practicing MobyMax will help improve their test scores. The contest begins tonight!
Happy Learning and keep those brains moving!!
*Your child was asked yesterday how many candy canes they wanted to pass out to friends!*Please fill out the card and return to school by Wednesday*Please send $1 per card. They will be delivered at the end of the week. Every child will get one.
Semaj is Star of the Week – after break it will be Ali G
Candy Grams – Monday & Tuesday students can fill out the candy grams for friends or family. This makes a nice little present with a nice message. They will bring in $1 per Candy Gram on Wednesday and they will be delivered Thursday. 
Holiday presents – Speaking of holiday presents I wanted to let you know that I never expect any gifts from anyone, but everyone has always been very generous in the past around the holidays. I know this has been a rough year for a lot of families. If you do choose to send a gift, I need to let you know I have lost almost 50 lbs in the last 3 years, I am working hard to keep it off and trying to lose some more, so please do not send any food or candy gifts this year. I also have very sensitive skin and can’t use regular soaps, perfumes and lotions. I love to get things for the classroom like office supplies (sheet protectors, card stock, markers, paper) or things for the students like prizes for the prize box or contests, Legos, educational games, science activities, or magnets. I also enjoy gift cards to Amazon, Target, Kroger or any gas station. Thanks for your understanding! Again I’m not expecting anything.
Busy Schedule this week!!!

Gingerbread house sign up information – I am so excited to bring back making Gingerbread houses to the 3rd grade. I have done this for almost every year of my 30 years of teaching and it is still so much fun!! Many supplies are needed to make gingerbread houses so I ask everyone to donate one thing. I will need 2 volunteers to help clean up and 2 to help set up. Each child can bring 1 adult to help them if the wish. We have almost everything but we still need help to clean up. Set-up helpers come down to the classroom after you check in the office.
