Reminders for December 18-20

Christmas is coming!  It is so exciting to have wonderful things to look forward to!

*Please remember to send your gift exchange gift by Tuesday, December 19.

*Wednesday, December 20, we have early dismissal at 11:30am.  This is also the last day of second quarter (report cards will be posted on January 5).

*When we return in January, we will begin participating in The Great Postcard Exchange with schools from all 50 states!  If you would be willing to supply some postcard stamps or some money towards purchasing Nebraska postcards, please let me know.  Thank you very much!

*For science, beginning in January, Mrs. Maxon asks that each student bring a 1/2 inch binder filled with wide-ruled paper.

*We will not have a newsletter over break, since we will return to a shorter week.

Photos from Hour of Code

We LOVED participating in the International Hour of Code - an initiative to encourage kids to try computer coding.  You can find more information and activities at code.org .  We also loved giving the school's new iPad cart a try - 16 new iPads teachers can use in their classroom!

NaNoWriMo - WOW!

We took our final word counts for National Novel Writing Month today.  As a class, our stories contain over 65,000 words!  Awesome!

Newsletter for December 4-8

It doesn't quite feel like December when we're enjoying these pleasant temperatures outside!

We'll only be doing online orders for Scholastic Books this month.  Please place your order at https://orders.scholastic.com/GKXXB by December 6.  Thank you!
