Service Project, English, Ski Date and More!

On Thursday students had an opportunity to pack a goodie bag for the U.S.O.  Walkathon funds purchased snacks, lotions, puzzle books, and gift cards to go along with other donations students brought in.  Each student was able to write a note of encouragement to go in a bag that will be handed out and Lambert Airport over the next weeks.  We pray the military members feel our love and appreciation for their service to our country!  (left the photos on my classroom ipod - I'll add them next week).

Wrapping up the Quarter

  If your child has been absent, be sure to have him or her check in with each teacher on Monday to be sure we have all of your makeup work.  I am sometimes delayed at getting grade updates into Sycamore and I certainly don't mind the reminder.  But also the student has missed instruction and the teacher can touch base and see if they have questions. 

CHRISTMAS PARTIES will be hosted by our room moms on THURSDAY.  They are planning on serving pizza and snacks, so you will not likely need to feed your child lunch after noon dismissal.  Or - maybe you will - you know how these kids can eat!!

NEW GOOGLE PASSWORDS - You will receive a letter with your child's new Google password on Monday.  Please review the importance of password security with your child.  Passwords will change over Sunday evening.

English 6

      This week we are continuing on with our verbs unit. We had a quiz retake over intransitive/transitive verbs and be verbs that we (collectively) did not master last week.  The quiz retake went much better.
      We are currently working with different verb tenses and will have a unit quiz next week on Wednesday. Students have been reviewing and completing study guides that they may use on this large quiz.
      We are working with two writing assignments, a sensory writing activity over Thanksgiving dinner, and an upcoming narrative/sensory writing activity over Christmas.

  We will have no spelling this next week, however, we will be working with another word study on Christmas music.

Joy in Him and the Advent Season!
