Hello parents,
Thank you for helping us have such a successful week. The kids did their best on the MAP assessments, were super creative with their Diwali costumes, and focused on learning through it all.  It's truly a delight to work with your students!  They are a fantastic bunch!  

Next week is our final week before Holiday break.  Please plan to attend the Holiday Sing Along at Baatan Hall, Wedneday 12/17.  Kiddos should arrive by 6:00 to have time to get their saris and turbans pinned on. If your student cannot make it Wednesday PLEASE let me know ASAP.  That way we can alter the performance as needed based upon the absence. 

Lastly, I am seeking a parent (or parents) who might have some sewing skills up their sleeve and a little extra time over the holidays for a project:  I need our class bean bag chairs (2) to be refilled with beans/pellets.  I bought them last year and they are flattening to a mere shadow of their former selves!  If you are at all interested, please drop me a line.  
Many thanks!
-Kelly

Hello lovely parents,
 
I hope this email finds you rested and ready for the mad dash to the Holiday finish!  The next 3 weeks are packed full of learning (and testing), projects and performances... so hang tight and let the rumpus begin! 
This Friday, our class will be working with the 1st graders to make turbans and saris in preparation for our Dewali performance at the Holiday Sing Along.  WE NEED old baseball caps to make the turbans (for the boys), and any fabric trimmings you might have - things like lace, rick rack or sparkly/glittery fabric pieces.  Any donations will be greatly appreciated.  Please send in your donations no later than this Friday.
 
HW this week includes math Study Link 4.1 (we're starting our unit on decimals), Wordly Wise word maps (2) and a Literature Response Log.
 
Also, remember to send in your payment for the Winter Sports program.
 
Thanks for all your support.  Have a great week!
-Kelly
