One more week! We have lots on the agenda for next week. Please remind your
children we do still have some work to be done. The whole week is not about
partying.
The only homework next week will be drill sheets and some science practice.
I do still plan to try to take care of soil/erosion next week.
Don’t forget PTA is Dec. 15. I’m sure Mrs. Geeslin will send home another
reminder, but mark it on your calendars if you haven’t already.
Our field trip to Vulcan Materials rock quarry has been rescheduled for Dec.
17. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather - not only that day, but for
2 or 3 days prior as well.
December 17 is Chick-Fil-A night. Let’s have a good turnout. Even though we
don’t have as many students as 4th and 5th grades, if everyone comes out, we
can beat them!!! Grab friends, neighbors, and strangers off the street and
bring them in too!! Just kidding about the strangers.
December 18 will be our Polar Express fundraiser for Relay for Life. The
children may donate $1.00 to wear pajamas to school. Hot chocolate will be
offered for sale. All children will get to watch the movie, but only those
who donate may wear pajamas that day.
Our class is also trying to help the Open Door Community House this
Christmas. I know you are asked to do a lot, but this is such a worthwhile
charity. This organization helps the very neediest of our community, and
there are many children who depend on the generosity of others for their
Christmas. Please open your hearts (yes, and your wallets) to make Christmas
happen for these children. A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY
SENT IN TOYS FOR OPEN DOOR. As you are out shopping this weekend, I would
love for more of you to donate to this worthy cause!
