Today our class got a visit from a counselor at Maplewood. He talked with them about how they need to choose what music they will take next year. Students can choose from band, orchestra, and choir. A yellow paper is going home tonight for you to read over and fill out. Please return this slip before Jan. 9th. If you are unsure if your child will be going to Maplewood next year, just fill out the sheet anyway, and write a short note on the paper.
Thank you to Mrs. Siegel who helped make copies for me this morning!
Homework:
Reading: Finish reading your book-if you don't do that this weekend that is ok-just finish it over break.
Other: bring an extra bag Monday to carry art projects home in
Bring gift exchange gift

Today we had a concert given by some Menasha High school orchestra, band, and choir students. I also gave a class initial because a lot of the class didn't stop talking after I told them a few times. I am also going to give initials every time-no warning-when a student talks during work time and I have asked them to work quietly. I am at the end of my rope with the talking, so I am being tough.
Homework:
Reading: Read pages-I didn't get a chance to initial calendars today.
Math: finish reptile division worksheet in the packet if you didn't finish in class. Make corrections on your division work to get points back on your grade.
Spelling: Study-we will finish the cursive sentences we started in class tomorrow.
Science: Finish your animal cube-model is due Friday
Other: gift due Friday. If you are unable to buy a gift, please write me a note!

Today the class had Phy Ed and Music. They continue to practice for their concert next Monday night at 7pm. I will be in my room at 6:45. You can send your child up to my room then so we can get lined up for the concert.
Remember to send a gift for the gift exchange to school by Friday. If you cannot afford it, please write me a note and let me know.
Homework:
Math: 1st page of Division packet-do first 5 rows if you didn't last night.
2nd page of division packet-do first three rows in your notebook.
Reading: read pages on your calendar. I wrote on each calendar-initials if they are done, and the word "finish" if they need to finish. The books need to be done by the end of winter break. When we get back we will be doing projects on their books.
Spelling: Study. Some kids will not have a list stapled in their agendas. That is because their team won last week's point challenge so they get to take a week off.
Science: Ask your child what animal they are doing their scientific name project on. They can make a small model of their animal out of anything, or find a small toy that will fit in the cube we are making. This model is for extra credit. Many students need this extra credit because a lot of them didn't do well on a quiz this week. This model will not be due for a few more days, but they can bring it in whenever.
If your child brought home a tube of bone shaped candies with a cat or dog toy on the top-please return it. I had this stolen from behind my desk yesterday-it was a gift I was going to give to my secret santa. I do not know if it was someone in my class or in the after school program.
