Teacher's Corner (By Mr. Singer): Well, we only have one more week until Christmas break and this week will be a fun one. We have a normal week or work, but at the end we will also be having our auction and a little party on Thursday.
First trimester grades have officially been available now. I sent a letter home to the 20 families from the 6th grade classes who have not been on Skyward yet. Please take some time to go online and check out your child’s progress.
On Thursday we will have a party. I will be bringing the drinks, but the kids can bring any snacks to share with the class if they want. Just make sure to send along enough for one of each item for 28 students, and the teacher if you want :). We are keeping it very simple. We will be doing a reading connection project in the afternoon and this will be something to wake the class up.
Monday is the last day to send in $2 for pizza on Thursday too. Most people who will be participating have sent in their money, but if you child wants to do pizza next Thursday they need to send it in Monday. Also, the kids are to bring their own drinks, no energy drinks.
It’s auction time! 6th grade students have been earning money for being positive and taking responsibility for their learning. We are looking for any donation you might be able to supply to us, such as: Rummage sale items Used books Business donations Baked goods. If you have any items to donate please bring them in at any time. Any baked good should be brought the day of the auction. The auction will be held on Thursday.
