Our goal for this week: "Speak loudly and clearly for my WA Region presentation."
Some items in this Monday's take-home folder:
Sign and return: Weekly Update, December Reading Log (in binders)
Review and keep at home: Math fact tests, Math practice pages (varies by walk-to-math class), spooky similes, crayfish art
Dance Man: This Thursday night - 5:30 (for K-2) and 6:45 (for 3-5)!
Fantasy Book Report: The Fantasy book report is due 12/17. Students should be finishing their books this week, and bringing their books and packets to school every day!
The Optional WA Topographic Map optional Project is due on Tuesday, Dec 16 OR Tuesday, January 6, 2015. This project is an effective way for students to reinforce their learning. By creating a three-dimensional clay (play-doh or model magic) map showing the elevations, regions, important bodies of water, major cities, and boundaries of Washington State, students learn-by-doing.
One Voice Holiday Giving Campaign:
4th Grade - Toys; toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss
Every year, through community donations, the One Voice event provides basic necessities and small pleasures to 275 families, helping about 800 kids. Let’s show our generous CUB spirit and give what you can. Items will be collected in your child’s classroom during the week of 12/03-12/10. The mystery word is: enunciation
Reflections Art Entries: are due by Tuesday, 12/9

December volunteer calendar: is attached to this week's email. Please let me know if you need any adjustments or can't be here on your day. Thanks again for all you do to support our class's learning - we couldn't do it without you!!!
Attendance Hotline: If your child will be missing school or tardy for any reason, please be sure to call the attendance hotline: 425-831-4108. The mystery word is: dialogue. Due to changes in the district's policy, if a student is absent and the attendance line has not been called, our school secretaries are required to call all the emergency contact numbers in that student's file until they can find a reason for the absence. Please call the attendance line!
