Students brought home a letter that contained information about our Gingerbread Party and our Holiday Party. For the Gingerbread activity students need 1 box of grahm crackers and 1 can of prepared white frosting (in the tub with the circle lid). In addition, on their letter they were asked to bring in one item for the houses (examples included: red and green peppermints, small marshmallows, red hots, twizlers, sweet tarts, fruit loops, gum drops, kisses, etc.)
Today in Science students created food webs. These webs allow students to see how ecosystems work, and how an unbalanced ecosystem can effect those things (living and nonliving) that live in an ecosystem. These two sources provide excellent resources for students:

Nutcracker is tonight! Students are ready to perform. Performers need to be at school at 6:15.
For the Holiday Party on Wednesday, students need to bring in $2.00 for pizza and the item on their sheet. We would like to have all items for the party by Tuesday. The menu is: pizza, salad, carrots/celery, chips and dip, cookies, and cupcakes. Students will watch the Sound of Music and play a few holiday games in the morning. If you are joining us, we plan to eat around noon.
Over the break, students need to continue daily reading. FCAT will be fast approaching upon our return, and many times our students know the answers, but lack the stamina to finish the test. Nightly reading of different types (newspaper, poems, informational text, directional text, fiction and non-fiction) of text can help them tremendously when it comes to test time.
With your help, your student will succeed!
