Dec. 16- Dec. 20

Hello Families and Friends! We have a festive week planned ahead! Here are a few things to take note of:

Mitchellville
After the new year our classroom will be turned into "Mitchellville!" This is one of my most parts of the year! I will send home information on how your child will need to apply for a job and the laws that are required in the town of Mitchellville, such as rent and payday. Please take some time during the break to look over the jobs that will be available and decide on 2-3 that would fit your child's interests. Not everyone will receive their first choice when it comes finding a job! I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding Mitchellville!

Two-Sided Math Homework

As we are nearer to the second half of the school year, students will be required to complete two-sides each evening for their math homework. Parents and students should still only be spending 30-40 minutes a night on homework including reading. If you and your child are exceeding this please let me know so that we can work on some strategies together to make homework-time not as challenging!

Christmas Around the World Projects Due: Monday, Dec. 16th

Looking forward to seeing all the projects this week! Students should also be prepared to give a brief presentation on the country they researched!

Cookies, Cocoa, and Carols: Tuesday, Dec. 17th

All are invited to stay after school on Tuesday, Dec. 17th to join in carol singing and eating cookies and drinking cocoa! Students are encouraged to stay with their families while in attendance and will help to lead the carols with their grade level. Students that normally would stay for Crosswalk will participate with the Crosswalk adults, hope to see you there!
