A Busy Month!

December is such a busy month. Here's some reminders.

This Friday, 12/11, third grade is doing a skit about Our Lady of Guadelupe. It will be at 10:50 in the church. All students are participating in one way or another. Parents are welcome.

Next Thursday, 12/17, is the Christmas music concert. The students have been working hard on the Orf instruments playing the harmony for Feliz Navidad. The concert starts at 7:00. Students need to be dropped off in the classroom at 6:30 so parents can go get a seat. Students need to wear dressy clothes. NO JEANS or SWEATS. Also, many students will be sitting on the ground, so make sure that whatever your student wears, he/she is able to get up and down to the ground easily.

On Friday, 12/18, we will have our class Christmas celebration. We will order pizza for lunch. Please send in $2.00 to cover the cost of this. We will also be building gingerbread houses. A letter went home requesting supplies for this. Students #1-8 need to bring one box of plain graham crackers and one bag of small candy. Students #9-16 need to bring one tub of white frosting and one bag of small candy. Thanks for your help with the supplies. Making the gingerbread houses is a third grade tradition, and is always a lot of fun every year. If any parents want to volunteer in the classroom on this day, from 9:30-10:30, it would be great!

Friday, 12/18, students may wear red, white, and/or green free dress with a Santa hat. Don't forget, it's a half day. Dismissal is at noon.

Week of 11-23

This week, there are no new Spelling words or Reading stories. We are working on finishing up some projects started in Language Arts. Everyone is working on a Tornado book, and half of the class is completing a Freckle Juice book report. In Math, we have started multiplication. Students should practice these at home to memorize their facts.

We are collecting toiletries for the homeless in our area. Please send what you can. We need soap, shampoo, socks, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, disposable razors, shaving cream, and hair combs. Thanks for your help.

Monday--Free Dress for PERFECT attendance
Tuesday--Fall Dress Day--Wear red, orange, yellow, brown
Wednesday--Noon dismissal. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
