This Friday, December 9th is Pajama Day.  Students are asked to donate a jar of peanut butter for our food drive in order to wear their pajamas to school on Friday.

Our class will be attending the Secret Santa Shop on Wednesday, December 14th at 11:00 a.m.  Students are able to bring money to school to shop for family and friends for the holidays.  More information will be coming home soon from the PTA.

Students should arrive at school no earlier than 8:20 a.m. to line up in the gym.  Kid’s Club is in the gym until 8:15, so the gym is not available for line up until 8:20.  Students can go to the cafeteria for breakfast at 8:00 a.m.

The M & M challenge has begun for the month of December.  It will run until January 14th.  Students should be reading on MyOn at home as often as possible, and going onto MobyMax at home as often as possible.  Students have been assigned lessons in the Math section of MobyMax on decimals to help prepare for our Unit 4 Test.

Students should also be going onto xtramath.org as often as possible.  We are able to go onto the website at least once a week in class.  If students go onto the website 2 or more times at home during the week, they will receive a blue ticket on Monday!

Please remember to send your child’s recorder to school with them every Thursday.  We have music at 9:00 and students do not have time to call home if they’ve forgotten their recorders.  This is an important part of their music grade.  We always write a reminder in our Student Planners as well.

There will be a Science Quiz this Wednesday.  A study guide will be coming home today from Mrs. Smith so students know what is on the quiz.  They should also bring home their Science Notebooks that we’ve worked on in class to help them study.
