Reminders:
1.
These are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork:
A.
All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted).
B.
If the assignment states that looseleaf is to be used, no other types
of paper will be accepted (paper ripped out of notebooks or legal pads is unacceptable.
C.
Homework must be handed in on the day due, unless I receive a not from a parent
explaining why you did not complete your HW. This will only be accepted if there is an emergency at home
(not because you were too tired or that you had too much
other HW).
D.
Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or illegible will not be accepted
2. Monday is extended day Math for

6. Please check the blog for any
Christmas Reading and SS HW.
For 5th
grade students only:
Please bring in a shopping bag to
pack books that will be left in school during Christmas Vacation. This is so
the insides of all desks may be cleaned.
Parents please let your child know what books you
would like them to bring home over the Christmas break. We will be packing up
all books on Friday.
Monday, 12/23 We will be attending
Lessons and Carols. Each class will be singing a song. This will begin at 8:30
in the church. All parents are invited to attend.
The 5th grade will also be having a
Christmas Party. Each child should bring in something to share with the class
(donuts, cupcakes, cookies, soda or juice, napkins, plates, cups). Let your
child know what he/she can contribute, so I can get this organize.
The children have asked to have a
Secret Santa. Each child will choose a name (secretly) and buy a gift for that
person (no more than $10). If your child will not be attending school on
Monday, 12/23, please let me know as soon as possible, so I do not plan on
he/she bringing anything for our party, and also so they do not choose someone
for the Secret Santa because then someone will be left with no gift.
Remember
that homework and classwork count as a grade!
