More Christmas . . .

No school today!

It seems we are having an ICE day and not so much a SNOW day. We've uploaded some more pictures to the blog, so check those out. Enjoy your day off and be safe!!

See you soon . . . 

Friday Folders

Friday Folders are being sent home today. There are no graded papers in the folders. However, report cards are in the folders, so be on the look out for it. You may keep the report card, but be sure to return the folder on Monday.

Welcome to 2011

Several things are coming home today in Homework Folders.

• Field Trip permission slip for the Atlanta trip to the Law Education Center on January 19. Sign and return this form. Please mark if you will or will not be able to drive. Please note that we are leaving at 7:15 A.M.

• Parent information form for our next trade book, Mr. Popper's Penguins. Sign and return this form. Your child will also have a list of vocabulary words from the book with definitions.  This is an aid for reading comprehension; your child will not be tested on the vocabulary.  

• Book Report Packet for our next book report, due on February 9.  All that your child will need to complete this book report project are basic school supplies (crayons or colored pencils, scissors, glue and clear cellophane tape.) Your child may use Mr. Popper's Penguins for this book report if the last book report was not from the fiction genre.
