Many kids brought in books for the book exchange on Friday! There are still a few more kids who need to bring theirs in. Please let me know if you can not get a book for your student.

We have started a new method of Multiplication. I am sending a sheet to help you out at home.

Today we had a guest speaker come and talk to us about trees. Ask your student what new things they learned.

Homework:
Read for 20 minutes
Reading homework—Due Friday
Study spelling words- test on Friday

Something New: This Friday students who turned in all of their homework will be able to have 15-20 minutes of Friday Free Time. Students who did not turn in all of their homework will have to complete what they did not turn in while others are having free time. I am hoping this will motivate those who have a hard time getting their homework in, and reward those who always turn in homework. This also counts for the RAH each night.

Christmas Party:
Please don’t forget to bring a wrapped new or gently used book by Dec. 15th.
Let Terry Pond know if you can contribute to the party in some way.

Today we had a guest speaker come in, to talk about the Oregon Trail. Be sure to ask your student what they learned.

We also started our mysterious science/Christmas experiment today. I hope to get through all of the kids by Friday!
