Thursday, Student Leadership & the Winter Party

Howdy all. Well the week is winding down, and I feel like we are just hitting our writing stride. Mission reports are moving along, and the kids are producing great work.

We announced the winners of the Student Leadership elections today, and I am happy to inform everyone that Alicia and Jason will be representing Room 13 for the year. Again, I wanted to compliment each child who took the initiative and effort to craft speeches.

The holiday is quickly approaching, and I am looking forward to a few nice weeks of rest and relaxation. Of course, there will be skiing and parties thrown in for good measure. Keeping in mind how over-the-top fantastic our Halloween festivities were, I am setting up an extremely mellow Winter Party. In an effort to honor the various denominations within the classroom, we will be hosting Winter Pot Luck and Game Day. I would ask that families provide a non-holiday themed dish that the class can share. We'll warm cider, play games, and watch the film version of "By the Great Horn Spoon!". I would encourage folks to start an email tree (hint, hint) to arrange foods and supplies, and we can take it from there.

The students are responsible for the following tonight:

-Cursive packet due tomorrow
-Reading Log due tomorrow
-"Spoon" packet page 18
-Math lesson 58 (10-28)
-California Reflections page 47

Respectfully, Mr. B
