Merry Christmas!!!

Week of December 16th - 20th

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Here is what is happening this week:

Reading: We are learning sounds and blends. Please review the class work with your child each night. 

Spelling: No spelling test this week. 

Math: We are in Topic 6 this week. We will finish it when we come back from Christmas Break. Please keep reviewing and returning homework each night.

YPP: Our class goal is to earn 100 “green dots” on YPP by February 15^th to receive a Cupcake Party. This week we have earned 86 green dots. These green dots can also go away, so the students know to keep trying their hardest each time they go to the computer lab. 

12 Days of Christmas:  Thank you to those who are helping with this fun activity. The kids are loving it! Thank you to those who helped with Polar Express Day as well!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thank you, and have a good week!

Fire Alarm today

Hi parents,

I am sure your student will tell you that the fire alarm went off today and fire trucks showed up. Nothing to worry about - no smoke, no fire.

To my understanding, they closed the door to the kitchen, because they were taking school pics in the lunchroom.
The heat sensors went off because they are right over the oven in the kitchen and with the doors shut it triggered the heat sensors, which set off the fire alarm. No smoke, no fire.

Let me know if you have any questions.

-Mrs. Stevenett
