Christmas Gift Exchange--The students have decided to do a gift exchange this year. Each student will bring a gift wrapped present on the theme of books and/or gift cards worth $10-$15. If they bring a gift they will select a number to choose the order in which they will select one of the wrapped gifts. Once a gift has been unwrapped it can be stolen from another student, but only twice. Hopefully this will be a fun experience. Students do not have to participate. If they bring a gift, they get a gift. We will exchange gifts on Dec. 16 as one of our students will be away the following week.
Christmas Hamper Program will be running from Dec 14-17 this year. We will be providing more information as we get closer about how you can be involved. We are definitely looking for families to participate in delivering the hampers, especially on the Saturday.
ELA--I will be checking reading logs on Monday for 150 min. of reading as well as Agendas for signatures. Students have been working on a Reader's Theatre Unit with Ms. Kuhl. They are currently writing their own Reader's Theatre based on a story of their choice. Three Reader Responses for December will be due on Dec. 16.
Math--Gr. 8s are working on Ch. 4--Percents. The Gr. 7s have been working on Ch. 4, Fractions & Percents with Ms. Kuhl.
Social Studies--We are completing our study of Ancient Societies this week and will have a test later in the week.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns via email or call the school.
