A few things to note...

• Tomorrow is our field trip to the Cobb Youth Museum. 
• Tomorrow students may dress down for $1.
• Tomorrow we are going to be doing some "winter cleaning". Please have students bring their backpacks, there will be things coming home.
• If your child brings home a retake for math, it will be accompanied by practice work. Remember that in order to participate in a retake, the practice work must be done and the initial assessment signed by a parent. Our math retake will be the Thursday that we return, so that we can be sure to get the updated grade in for this marking period.
• Please have students read and practice their multiplication facts using Mathletics or Front Row over the break.  This is not an official homework assignment, but the practice will benefit them.
• Last, but not least, thank you to all who made our classroom celebration awesome! Whether you donated items or donated your time, it is all greatly appreciated. The kids had a ton of fun!

We want to wish all of you a safe and wonderful holiday season. Whether you are traveling or staying local, we hope that you get to enjoy time with loved ones. We will see everyone next year!

A Few Quick notes about the week:
* Our field trip is Wednesday to the Cobb Youth Museum.
*Our class holiday party is Tuesday.
*This week will be a review week, so there are no new standards to be noted.

I have to tell you that I am super proud of the work the kids did on their Elf Traps. They were so creative and I loved seeing how their young minds worked to problem solve. Thank you for supporting them with this project.  The tricky elves don't stand a chance against these traps!  The projects will be sent home next week.

In the beginning of the year, you received a paper that asked you to indicate how your child will be going home in the event of inclement weather. Some students have received new forms so that updated information can be noted. Please remember that in the event that school is dismissed early due to inclement weather, there will be no ASP, therefore you must indicate the bus that your child will need to ride home.  This information can be found at:
