Update

A Few Items of Importance:
The kids voted today to postpone the class Auction until Spring.  Please continue to gather “treasures” to donate to the class auction. The kids may bring in items at any time and I can store them here.
WE WON the fifth grade classroom reading competition for December!!! Yippee!  Tomorrow we will be rewarded by having comfy cozy day.  Kids may wear whatever they are most comfortable in, and hats too! 🙂  They may also bring a stuffed animal or blanket to cozy up with.
Our class also met their December reading goal!! Oh boy I love all this reading.  So we will take time tomorrow to play board games again in the afternoon.  Have your child bring in a board game of their choice if they will like.  
Homework for reading has been increased to 30 minutes/7 days a week.  This is a total of 210 minutes a week.  If for some reason they cannot read 30 minutes one evening, then they make it up another night.  We look at the total minutes each week for our class competition.  ALL minutes must be signed for the kids to earn credit for their reading.  PLEASE SIGN THEIR READING LOGS for all the reading they are doing at home.
Congratulations to Haley, Marley, Keegan, Drew, Kaleb and Braden for winning the table group reading competition for the second time!!  They will be treated by having lunch with me next week.  We have moved seats and everyone has a new table group to compete with.  LET THE GAMES BEGIN!   

Reminders!

I hope everyone has had a Happy & Blessed Thanksgiving.  I look forward to hearing from your children about all the wonderful memories they have created from this year’s Thanksgiving holiday.

I cannot believe that it is December already!!  Wow, the school year is flying by. We now have only three short weeks before we break for our Holiday break on December 20.

We will start with a busy week.  Tomorrow is our first day of recording minutes read for our reading competition with the other 5th grade classes. PLEASE sign your child’s reading log so we can count their minutes toward the competition. If they have forgotten their reading log at school, a quick note verifying their minutes read will do just fine for counting minutes for our class.   Christmas Carols

Georgetown’s Holiday Program will be on Tuesday, December 3 at Fair Haven Church.  Please go to Mrs. Bretz’s blog to read details regarding Tuesday evening’s performances.

Wednesday is the beginning of our 5th grade Candy Cane sale to supplement 5th Grade Camp and 5th Grade Celebration.  Please show your support and consider donating $1.oo to purchase candy canes for our 5th graders.

Then on Thursday our class will have the opportunity to shop at the Santa Shop provided by our Parent Club. Please make sure that if your children are planning to purchase items from this year’s shop that they have their money on Thursday.
