Our class holiday party will be on Friday, December 20th at 9:00-11:00. It will be $5.00 per student as we will have a special holiday breakfast in the classroom followed by LOTS of crafts and games. In addition to a special afternoon snack of cookie decorating.  I am looking for parents to help with our little “elves” with all the crafting and games!  Please let me know if you are interested in helping by returning the slip sent home by Monday, December 16^th along with the $5.00. This is a special opportunity for parents to help in the classroom and I hope that you can attend!! 

***Today we took a NWEA screener (practice test) in READING. On the post it note in your child’s folder it shows on top their score from when we took the test in November and on the bottom their score from TODAY!!! Almost everyone went up  :)– showing growth and progress in their reading learning— I’m so proud of the way they took their time, focused, and tried their best using the strategies we have been practicing! On Thursday, December 19th at 2:30-3:30 in the classroom we will have a Mandatory Parent Meeting to discuss NWEA screener reports and go over ways to prepare for the WINTER TESTING that will take place in January 2020 (Blue Note)—***Please make arrangements to attend this VERY IMPORTANT parent meeting!!**** Thank you!
