Please bring your library books to school tomorrow (Thursday, December 17) because it is time to turn in the old ones and check out new ones.  Please remember to bring them because I know you want to check out new books!  I love getting new books to read.  Don’t you?

A great big thanks goes out to everyone who donated food to help the citizens of Dearborn who need a little extra help this year.  The last day to bring food is tomorrow!

Musleh!  He has completed his “Addition Math in a Flash” timed tests and has now moved on to subtraction!  Way to go, Musleh!  I am wondering who will be the next student to enter “Subtraction World”.  Will it be you?

McCollough-Unis is having a food drive to help families in the community that are in need of food.    To connect this food drive to a math standard, we are creating a graph of the food we have donated and are answering questions about our graph.  Also, in social studies, one of standards we have to teach is helping our community and this ties in nicely.   If you are able to help out, please have your child bring in some food in cans, boxes, or bags!   If you are unable to help out, I completely understand.  By the way, the students are excited about this community project because the class that brought in the most food will win a pizza or bagel party.

Mariam G., Mohammed E., and MohammadHussein W. for being the first ones to master all the addition facts on the “Math in a Flash” test.  They will now be moving on to subtraction facts!  Way to go:)  Hard work really does pay off and I know everyone can pass their weekly tests.  All you have to do is practice the flashcards I gave you or go on your computer and then go to the Math Magician website.  This website is awesome for helping you practice!
