As Winter Break Approaches...

Greetings to all!
Here are some announcements:

  • Thursday, December 15th, from 11am – 12pm:   Fourth grade is holding a pizza party celebration Parents are welcome to come and lend a hand, and enjoy the festivities with the students.  We ask that each parent donate $3 cash to help make this possible.  This will cover the cost for pizza and drinks for the fourth graders.  Please turn in the $3 by Tuesday afternoon, in time for us to order the pizza and buy the supplies.  Thank you for making this possible!
  • Weds., Thurs., and Fri. (Dec. 14-16):  Early Dismissal Days at 12:15pm
  • Unit 6 Math Update: Last week we got into long division, with the students learning the partial quotients method first, and the traditional method on Friday.  This week, due to the early release days, we will continue reviewing long division, so that the students get a handle on the process.  Remember to use the great resources (printables, videos, etc.) available on Everyday Math Online (your child should have his/her login information). Once back from Winter Break, we will continue with the Unit 6 lessons, which focus on measuring angles with half & full-circle protractors.
  • No Home Reading Logs will go home this week.  We will continue logs after the Winter Break.
  • There will be no new Word Study words this week, either.  We will still have our test on Tuesday, Dec. 13th, for last week's words.

Thank you for your continued support!  We look forward to having a great week at school!
