Winter Break!

We had an awesome day today! We took all our test in the morning and then started the holiday festivities!!! We made a reindeer ornament, sang holiday songs, ate pizza, lots of treats, and watch our video for our winter assembly! The video is upload on the school website! Check us out!


Homework:
Your child has been learning a lot in class in preparation for the ISAT tests coming up at the end of February.  To help your child maintain what has been taught already over the 3-week break, we have compiled a homework packet that reinforces skills and strategies learned in class.
In addition your child is required to read and complete 2 book reports. It’s so important that your child READS, READS, and READS! I have placed two leveled books in a zip block bag. Every book is at your child’s level so they will be able to read the text. Please have your child complete the required reading and book reports by Monday, January 9th, 2012.

I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!! See you next year!
