Dec 9



 Dear Parents,

Our wonderful Christmas program is Thursday, December 12th.   All of the kids have assured me that they talked to you about the expected attire! Mrs. Fennell says white on the top and black on the bottom. Skirts or dresses for girls and slacks for boys and a splash of color!
Our Christmas Party is the 20th in the afternoon.  I put a sign-up sheet outside the door.  We will keep it simple and wrap some presents for children in homeless families.  We are working with City Gates.    Please bring an UNWRAPPED gift for a boy or girl the same age as your child.  We are making wrapping paper and writing a note to go with the presents that the kids bring in. 
Notice the schedule for our trip to Olympic Junior Programs.  
Please stop by the hall by the office and see our “Portraits of Christ”.  We are learning about painting a picture with words. 
Homework:
Spelling:  Lesson 14.  Test and workbook are due Friday as usual.  If this makes an undue hardship for you because of the Christmas Concert on Thursday , please let me know and we will make another arrangement for your child to take the test.
Math:  Please continue to work with your student at home on math facts.  Notice the addition of a KenKen to the math homework .    The two KenKens are due Friday.  It is either a 10 (done and done right),  5 (attempted but not quite right) or a zero in the grade book!  Yikes! 
Passport:  The December test is Thursday,  December 19th!
Reading:  Keep them reading.  I included the December reading calendar with my letter last week.  Because of the craziness that happens at Christmas time, I am only requiring the reading calendar for the weeks that we are in school. If you can send it in on December 20th it would be great.   Of course keep them reading, but I know how schedules change and keeping track of things becomes more difficult.
Bible Verse:  We are learning the poem “One Solitary Life. We will be performing at chapel on the 17th.  The entire text is on the back of this missive.

Scheduled Field Trips:  
January 22:  WET Science Center in Olympia.  We will leave at 9:30 and return around 12:30.  Free
February 12: We will be going to a terrific presentation about the human body called Bodyology.  It will be a very good review of our health unit about the different body systems.   The cost for chaperones is $6.
