Reading?

How's the reading log and book project going?  Don't forget to fill  out the log and return it on Monday the 3rd for a ticket to Six Flags.    Book projects are due no later than Wednesday the 5th.  I hope you're having a nice break, had a wonderful Christmas and will have a fantastic new year.  See you in 2011!

Great times!

We had a lot of fun this week at school!  Thursday afternoon was our holiday party and the kids "bought" their candy to decorate their gingerbread houses.  I think some of them may have eaten more than they decorated with, but they had fun!  At the end of the party they all opened up a pair of pajamas that Mrs. Lorenz, Mrs. Dyches, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Keane, and Mrs. Bland purchased for the class.

On Friday, it was Pajama Day.  All the kids wore the pj's they were given at the party.  We opened the gifts from the gift exchange.  They were so excited to see what they got and who it was from.  It was so fun to hear their excitement and all the "thank you's" that morning.  

Have a Wonderful Christmas!

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!  School will resume on Monday, January 3rd.  Book projects are due to school no later than Wednesday, January 5th.  In the Friday folders there is a notice for a reading contest in which any child who fills out a reading log adding up to 6 hours of reading over break will receive a free ticket to Six Flags.  See the details in the folder.  The reading logs must be brought back the Monday we return.  I cannot accept late logs.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
See you in 2010!

Math Practice

Our 2nd district math benchmark assessment is coming up the second week after we get back from break.  The test consists of a lot of time, money, measurement (to the nearest inch and centimeter), three-dimensional shapes and algebra.  Yes, I said algebra.  For instance, 2 + ___ = 16.  If you're itching for some math pratice over break these would be great things to brush up on. :)

Gift Exchange & Candy

Just a reminder that all gifts for the gift exchange and candy for the gingerbread houses are due tomorrow.  The gifts should be wrapped and labeled with who they are from.  Please let me know as soon as possible if you're unable to bring in any of these items or if you have questions regarding what I'm talking about :)

From Mrs. Lorenz...

Just a reminder that the class party is next Thursday, December 16th from
1:45-3:00 pm. The kids will decorate a gingerbread house, snack on some
goodies, and participate in a gift exchange.


Please remember to bring in your "candy assignment" and your wrapped
hat/glove/scarf set by Tuesday, December 14th! Please let Mrs. Fredrickson
know as soon as possible if you will not be able to bring in either of the
items.


Also, on Friday, December 17th, the whole school participates in a Polar
Express Assembly! To help celebrate this, that Friday is also Pajama Day -
the kids are encouraged to wear their PJs to school! Just so you know, a
few of the families in Mrs. Fredrickson's class have purchased matching
pajama sets for the girls and matching pajama sets for the boys to wear on
this "special spirit day." These pajamas will be handed out as gifts during
the Holiday Party next Thursday - please be on the "lookout" for them and
don't forget to dress your child in them Friday, December 17th (we would
hate for anyone to feel left out...).


Thank you Jill, for all of your help!!

First Book Project

It's time for our first book project!  It is due on January 5th, the Wednesday we get back from break, and should not take a whole lot of time to complete.  The specifications of what the students will be graded on are listed on the form.  I do look heavily at direction following and effort when giving the grades on these projects.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  I can also upload the directions form if necessary.
