December 17 -19
Friendly Friday News
Lunches are due Monday, December 17, 2007. NO EXCEPTIONS
NO HOMEWORK
Students may bring a present for friends if they would like. I know the holiday season brings added expenses so I decided not to do a secret Santa. This way no students are feeling left out if they could not afford one.
Monday – We will be reading Jan Brett’s Gingerbread boy and doing activities that go along with the story.
Tuesday – We will be reading & watching the Grinch and doing activities that go along with the story.
Wednesday – We will be reading & watching the Polar Express and doing activities that go along with the story.

When we return from Winter Break, we will be working on time & money for a couple of weeks. Then we are moving onto Multiplication if you would like to start helping your child get a start that would be great.
Have a Very Merry and Safe Holiday!
