Jan. 13, 2014

Jan. 16, 17: Early dismissal @ 1:55/End of semester 20:Native American Dwellings due 20: Delayed start Please note that Thursday and Friday, Jan. 16 and 17, students are dismissed at 1:55 because of the high school exam schedule. This is the end of the first semester and second marking period, so ALL work must be handed in by this date to receive credit. The most common missing assignments are Home Links, with several students missing several of these. If they’re not handed it, students will receive a zero. Students are able to check the poster in our classroom and/or with me and feel free to call or email if you’re wondering.

Tis the Season!

Happy Holidays! I hope you are enjoying your preparations for the Christmas season. I will be absent this Tuesday as I attend a training at the ISD for our technology grant. The Christmas Program is Monday, Dec. 16. The program begins at 7:00. Students should arrive at 6:45 in their dress clothes (no jeans, please). Last week students drew the name of a classmate to purchase a small gift for. There is a $5 limit. If you may have trouble purchasing a gift, just let me know and I would be happy to do that for your child. I certainly don’t want it to be a financial burden but only a fun and thoughtful way to celebrate the season. If your child does not remember their person, feel free to call or email me and I can let you know. Have a great week!
