Last week before Christmas Holidays! I am leaving for Colorado to see my children and grandchildren. Visiting family is the best!!
*Skating - Tuesday, December 14 from 8:45 - 10:00 a.m. Meet us at the ice arena to help us lace skates and hopefully skate with us. Remember helmets and warm clothes.
*Spelling - No test until Friday, January 7. We will practice our spelling words next week and the same words the 1st week back. Class did awesome on Spelling Test!

*Students are doing amazingly well with zipping up coats. Thanks for practicing!
*Pizza Day - Thursday, December 16 - wear red/white. Students love staying and eating together.
*Lates - Mr. Hogg announced over the intercom last Thursday that he is going to have draws for prizes for students who arrive on time. He is concerned about the number of students that are late everyday. He says that there are at least 40 students late every day. He is asking for our help as a class to help reduce the number of lates. Maybe this could be our New Year's Resolution!
