The results are in! Our class has met their reading goal for the month of November! Hard work pays off and the students are excited to have a Pajama Day to celebrate next Friday, December 12. Since the students have more time at home during the holidays, we have increased our reading goal slightly so in December every student is expected to read 16 minutes every night (496 minutes in the month of December). December reading logs will be due when the students return to school on January 5th.
Fireside Festival notes were sent home this week with the youngest or only children in the school. Please check off whether or not you will be attending the night performance on Thursday, December 18th from 6:30-7:30, along with the number of tickets you would like and return the form to school with your child. Families are asked to bring a blanket to sit on and a small tray of baking to share with our school community at the event. Tickets are not needed for the afternoon performance. Please see the Fireside Festival note for more details.
A New Focus in Science
This week we have officially wrapped up our Rocks and Minerals unit and started our next science unit on Human Body Systems. Our "I Can" statement this month is "I can investigate major organs, and their functions within one (or more) human body systems."
