Dear Parents, We have been very busy as we get ready for our Christmas Program. The students have been practicing these past couple of weeks and are doing a fantastic job! I know that everyone will enjoy the program. Remember that the program starts at 6:45 p.m. on December 19th. The students need to come to the school gym at 6:15 p.m. You can pick them up after the program in the gym. They need to dress up that night, no jeans. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email me. We will also be busy as we finish up Superkids Unit 8 for Reading and Writing (English). We have a spelling test this Tuesday and a Progress Test on Wednesday and Thursday. In the Monday folders, there is a letter with tips on things to do over winter break with your child, particularly to help them with their reading. Be sure to check it out, it has some fun ideas! I am glad that some students have started taking AR tests during our computer time. Remember that you can find their scores online. I will send the January Pizza Hut Reading logs home after break. The December logs are due the Monday after break. I hope that everyone has a joyful, stress-free Christmas with family and friends! Merry Christmas, Mrs. Patsavas
