Reminders:
1. Fifth Grade-On Wednesday, 12/21 we will be celebrating Lessons and Carols in the church at 8:30 AM. Every class will sing a song. Ms. Alma, the music teacher has asked that the girls wear something red, green, or white.
The boys should wear black pants with a white, green, or red shirt. No sneakers!
2. Fifth Grade- We will also be having a party on 12/21. The children have asked to order pizza, so if they want pizza that will need to bring $5 before Tuesday, 12/20. If they don’t bring in money, I will assume they are bringing their own lunch. They also should bring something to drink and some type of treat to share with the class (cupcakes, cookies, brownies, donuts).
3. Fifth Grade- Each child needs to bring in a large plastic shopping bag by Tuesday 12/20 to pack the books he/she will be leaving in school over the Christmas break. It really needs to be strong in order to hold enough of the textbooks.
4. Please check the blog and Google Classroom for updated homework assignments or announcements. Make sure that you read Mr. Woods blog for other important announcements.
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
