December 2



 Dear Parents,
                I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.  In class last week, we talked about all the things we have to be grateful for.  I was very impressed that most of them didn’t focus on toys or things but on our true blessings. 
Please note the two new things in our schedule,  Spirit Day and our 4th grade chapel. 
Homework:
Spelling:  Lesson 13.  We are looking at the schwa and new vocabulary words.  Test and workbook are due Friday
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.  The November calendar is due at the end of the month + two days, so the November reading calendar is due December 3.   As an ongoing guideline, please help them find books that they will enjoy, are at a comfortable reading level, and that they will read from beginning to end.  If they abandon a book part way through, the time still counts toward their reading goal, but I’d like to see them all find books that they enjoy reading all the way through.  I have included December’s tracker on the back of this letter.
Bible Verse:  We are learning the poem “One Solitary Life” This week’s text is below. We will be performing at chapel on the 17th. 

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 Bodyolygy.  It will be a very good review of our health unit about the different body systems.   The cost for chaperones is $6.    
February:  Olympic Junior Programs- “Four Score and Sever Years Ago”.  The date is not finalized.

Upcoming Events 
December 12: CCA Christmas Program 7:00
December 17:  4th grade Chapel, please plan on coming if you can! 8:00 AM start time- Done by about 8:45
December 20: Spirit Day

Blessings,
Mrs. Wilson
