Friday, December 19th is our Holiday Party.  Thank you to those families that already signed up for treats to bring in for the class.  There are still a few slots available.  We will do our Holiday Gift Exchange on Friday too.  If your child wishes to participate, bring in a wrapped gift that costs around $5.00.  Buy a gift for a boy if your child is a boy, or a gift for a girl if your child is a girl.  If you choose not to participate, your child will not receive a gift that day.  This is a fun activity and the kids always like buying for other people!

We are in need of newspaper advertisements for a holiday activity this Friday.  If you have any extra ads (Target, ToysRUs, Walmart, ect.) that could be donated for this activity, please send them to school by Friday morning.

The Unit 4 Math Test will be Friday, December 19th.  We will be completing a study guide together in class on Thursday.  You will find a list of concepts that will be on the test on another post on this blog.

Reading Bags will go home on Tuesday.  Since we will be off for vacation until January 5th, students will need to turn in their Reading Bags on Friday, December 19th.  This week it will be a short passage to read and answer some questions along with the skill of cause and effect that we have been practicing in class.
