This weekend I will have my birthday party.  I am turning 12.  Happy Birthday to ME!

Teacher's Corner (By Mr. Singer):
LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!  I am so excited that the snow is finally here.  Hopefully we get some cold weather so ice fishing can begin.  We also have a big sports weekend here in Wisconsin.  Go Packers! 

This week we did our first MAPs winter test.  We did our math test.  We will be doing our Reading MAPs test on the 24th.  After we complete our test, I will be sending home the results so you can see how they did.  This test will show us if the students are on path to make their goals for the end of the year. 

We will be having our classroom auction on January 20th, early relase day (at 11:30 they will be dismissed).  If you have anything at home you could donate, or want to purchase for the auction, we would be more than welcome to accept anything.  People have donated old movies, video games, gift cards, candy or food, etc.  Please let me know. 

Please remember to log onto Skyward to see your child’s grades.  If you have not checked between December 1st to next week Monday the 23rd, you will have to come in for the next parent-teacher conference.  The progress reports will be avliable on January 20th, so I will be checking again after that date.  Thank you very much for keeping on top of your child’s grades. 

This week the students finished their reading projects that we have worked on with the last book.  They had to create a video on the book they read and share what elements were used in the book.  The videos will be located on our website soon.  They will be located on the Pictures page of the website. 

If you are interested in any other information, please paruse the website and enjoy.  Our class rules, pictures from the year, and much more can be found.  If you ever have any questions, or comments, please email me!

News from the Science Department (By Maria):
We just started our new subject for science class. In this unit we are learning about technology. We are most likely going to learn on how it works and the history about the things we use in every day life! Instead of Mr.Singer reading with the class, Mr.singer paired us with groups. In our groups we are going to do research about the unit.  We are also assigned  and teach the subject to the class. Good Luck! ^_^

Anyone know where the snow is?  I mean we are almost a third of the way through December, but no snow?  I don’t know how we are supposed to have a winter wonderland.  Either way, I hope everyone is getting into the holiday spirit.  Have you started the countdown yet?
