I hope you enjoyed the Christmas Concert last week. The kids sounded and looked great! Before we get to the happenings of this week I would like to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year! Please know that all of us here at SKS are so thankful for you and for your support.
The last week before Christmas break will be FULL of Christmas fun! Here is what we will be doing:
- No homework this week except to study for tests. Merry Christmas!
- There will be a short test on Fact Families on Tuesday. The test will be exactly like the review sheet that we did in class today. It should be in their homework folder.
- There will be a spelling and reading test on Thursday for 'How Leopard Got His Spots'.
- Field trip permission forms and money are due tomorrow. Special thanks to Mrs. Pachioli, Mrs. E. Buckley, and Mrs. O'Donovan who will be our chaperones on the trip. There's still one more chaperone slot if anyone is available.
- Report cards will be sent home on Tuesday. Please sign the envelope and return it. You may keep the report card. Thanks!
- We will be doing different Christmas activities this week, including decorating our classroom door for the door decorating contest. We will definitely be putting our imaginations to good use! Today's lesson for some was on how to blow up a balloon.
- Friday is our bowling trip with our 8th grade buddies. Please make sure your child has a morning snack or money for a pretzel that they can take to eat at the alley. Pizza and dessert will be provided for lunch when we get back from bowling. Please refrain form sending in gifts for buddies. We made them Christmas cards :)
- Friday is a dress down day. Please send in $1.00 to dress down. If your child doesn't dress down they can wear their gym uniform to school since we will be going on our field trip. Pajamas are also allowed on this day :).
- School resumes on Thursday, January 2nd!
Have wonderful Christmas and New Year!
