December 14-18

This next week is our last full week before Christmas, and it will be a busy week as we try our best to wrap things up before the extended break. On Wednesday, the third-graders will have a math test.  The chapter 7 science test will be on Thursday.  Then, on Friday, there will be a fourth-grade math test in addition to the usual spelling test. Please note that we will have the chapter 2 Social Studies test on Monday the following week.

Reminder,  if you would like to donate toward the class gift for the Rotary tree, please send money to school by tomorrow. I plan to shop for the class gift this weekend.

On Tuesday, December 22, we will put our regular afternoon schedule on hold and celebrate Christmas in our classroom.  Usually, I provide a few light snacks, we play some games and watch a movie.  I am not exactly up on kids’ movies, so if you have a suggestion of a movie that I can stream off Netflix, I would greatly appreciate it.
