Thank you so much to all the families that attended and sent food in for our Friendship Feast last week. It was a fun time for the kids and we had great food to enjoy! We hope you all enjoyed the holiday with your families and friends.

Today a field trip permission slip is coming home and will be due back next Monday, Dec. 5th. We will be going to the Heard Museum in Phoenix on December 12th. If you would like to chaperone, please let your homeroom teacher know. There is no cost for chaperones, but you need to be willing to drive yourself to the Museum because there is limited space on the bus.

It is time to start building our summative projects. The following are some items that would be helpful to have during our building process: clay, small sticks, popsicle sticks, toothpicks, yarn, small rocks, t.p. rolls, shoe boxes, or other craft items. Your child might bring home a list of specific items that they would like to bring in to build with as well. PLEASE do not go out and buy anything, we will use things that you already have around the house.

Don't forget to plan to be at our summative on December 8th. It is a walk through to see the projects the kids have created, so you can come through anytime between 2:00 and 3:30. Plan to take at least 15-20 minutes to see the work your student has done this quarter.

December 13th we will be having a Gingerbread Day where we will read gingerbread stories, complete gingerbread math and wrap up our day by making gingerbread houses. We would love to have you come join us for the gingerbread house building. A note will be coming home about what your student needs to bring that day to build a gingerbread house.
