Dear Parent and
Guardians,
We have a very
busy week ahead. On Tuesday (Dec 11th) we are heading to MOCO for
our turkey dinner. Please remember if your child will not eat the turkey dinner,
they must bring their own lunch. Wednesday (Dec 12th) I hope
everyone can join us at 10am for our Christmas concert. The students are very
excited to show you the songs they have been practicing. Friday (Dec 14th)
our students will be bringing their Christmas show to York Manor down the road.
Reminders:
Christmas Angel Tree- We only have a few angels left. If you would like to take one to
support our Christmas families, please stop by and take an angel
or two. When you return the gift we ask that it come back wrapped with
the angel tree tag attached to the gift. Please have wrapped gifts
back to the school no later than December 20th.
Santa's Little Helper- The orders have arrived. Volunteers are coming in Monday to sort the
orders and they will be sent home with students at the end of the day. Thank
you again for all your support.
Volunteers for Breakfast Program- A letter will be coming home Monday. The staff and Home and School would like to offer a
breakfast program to the whole student body one day a week. We are
seeking volunteers that can help out on Tuesday mornings and donations. Please
fill out volunteer form and return it to school.
Milk Orders- We will be sending home a milk notice on Monday. This will give milk
buyers the option to change to chocolate milk and for those that do not
currently get milk to sign up. Order forms are due back on December 19 to
begin ordering chocolate milk for January.

What
we are learning this week:
Literacy: This week we will be learning about
poetry! We will be looking at a variety of poems (haiku, cinquain, limerick,
rhyming, acrostic…etc) as well as creating their own.
Math: We will begin to finish out
multiplication and division unit (which we will be reviewing throughout the
rest of the year). We will be reviewing division strategies. Also how to relate
division and multiplication. Some students have begun learning long division.
Science: We have our science lead visiting
with us this week. She will be helping us out with our unit on changes in
matter. We will be doing an experiment and deciding if it is a fair test. We
will also begin to look at different properties of matter. Finally, we will
begin to look at physical and chemical changes in matter.
Health: This week we are continuing our
discussion on safety and how students can play a role in keeping themselves
safe in a variety of different situations.
French: In French, we will continue our
discussions of family but I am also going to be introducing some holiday
vocabulary as well. We will be discussing traditions around the holidays and
learning many new words.
Have
a great week!
