Our
newest Leader of the Week is…
Peyton!!!
Peyton
was selected at the leader of the week for several reasons. He has been working so hard in his literature
circle group to “begin with the end in mind” so he could finish all of his responsibilities
on time. During a free moment during
class, you can find Peyton reading diligently.
He also has a great sense of humor!
He helps the class to synergize by bringing everyone together through
laughter. Way to go, Peyton!!
I
am so proud of your kids!!! They have been doing a wonderful job with
their literature circle books in class and literally everyone
seems excited about what they're reading! Win! Watching my
students get excited about what they read is such a pleasure! :o)
Upcoming
Tests
Social
studies test over Colonial Williamsburg on Friday, 12/12 (Students may begin
taking the tutorial Wednesday night.)
Math
test over division of whole numbers & decimals on Friday, 12/12 (A
study guide will come home Wednesday evening.)
Lit
Circles & Edmodo
Unfortunately,
some of the kiddos have told me about some difficulties with Edmodo deleting
their reflections. I have a solution to this that I think will help a
lot. Please have your child write his/her reflection in Microsoft Word
(or using the notepad on a tablet) and then copy the response into Edmodo to
turn it in. This way their work will be saved and if Edmodo won't let
them submit for some reason, they can just print and turn it in to me. I
hope this helps.
Husky
Helping House
Please
remember that all donations to the Husky Helping House are due no later than
Thursday, December 9th.

Our
book fair shopping day will be this coming Wednesday, December 10. I
apologize for any confusion as I had initially sent out the wrong date.
