AMAZING AND THE "STARS OF THE SHOW"! A special thank you goes to Mrs.

This Wednesday, 12/16 a group of our fourth graders will be going to visit the
Seniors at White Horse Village. I'm sure SMM will bring their Christmas cheer
and spread their Holiday magic:)
Saving the best to last, report cards will be given out on Tuesday,December
15th. Please take the time to congratulate your child for all his/her `
success and hard work this last trimester. Also, discuss with your child the
areas that need improvement and set small goals that he/she can achieve and
continue to build from there.
I wish you a peaceful and joyous Advent.
Below are a few reminders for the month of December;
1. All money and notes need to be sent into school school in a sealed
envelope with your child's name, grade and/or amount of money.
2. Homework books need to be signed on a nightly basis.
3. It is very important that your child have their supplies in school each
day. They should check their supplies each week and replace what is
needed.
4. Test packets are collected on Fridays. Math corrections should be on theme
tablet and stapled to the back of their test packet.
5. All students need to bring a lunch bag and schoolbag every day to class.
Please make sure your child's name is clearly written on their materials
6. Birthdays are celebrated at lunch. There are 24 students in our class.
Remember to bring in napkins and to be mindful of food allergies.
7. Your child should be going on First in Math at least twice a week. They
should be working on Just the Facts. This is a wonderful Math program and
will help your child improve their Math skills.
Merry Christmas!
