Today, we had the opportunity to do some preview Christmas shopping with some shops that have come to our school!  If students would like to buy anything, they may do so tomorrow!

Also, we are still in need of some gerbil food if anyone is able to donate some!  Thank you so much!
P.S. Remember that we've earned a Polar Express/PJ's party tomorrow!  

Homework: 

1) Get progress reports signed by parents and return them tomorrow!  Remember that the term ends 2 weeks after break, so carefully examine areas in which you can improve (and remember your PTC goals!)

2) Math (3-20): p. 143 all, p. 144 odds.  Redo low-scoring quizzes; remember that our Unit 5 test is this Friday!

3) Read 20 minutes and get it signed--remember that every day read must be signed!!

4) Missing Work! (remember--the term ends just 2 weeks after break!  Keep on top of that missing work!)

Items of Business: 

*Class Store: If you have any extra soda, candy, trinkets, jewelry, or toys that you would like to donate to class store, please send it with your child! We would like to do one more often to serve as a motivator for positive behavior!
