These next two weeks are jam-packed with learning and festivities.

Reminders:
- Monday is our visit the Peppermint Shoppe for presents. Students may revisit the shop during recess until Friday.

- Missing work and grades below a 70 need to be completed and turned in as soon as possible. The last day to turn in assignments is December 17th. Adequate time and reminders have been given.
- Signed Progress Reports need to be returned as soon as possible.
- Some students will be assigned spelling homework beginning this week. The word list and nightly assignments will be sent home on Monday. A test will be given on Friday.
- We will have a Science Benchmark on Thursday.

Holiday Party:
This year we are going to have a cookie decorating party and book exchange.
This means we will need lots of donations in order to decorate the cookies. I will buy the sugar cookie dough, but we need:
icing (small tubes for decorating and canisters for covering the cookie),
sprinkles,
small candies,
peppermints,
plates,
plastic knives,
napkins, and
any other items that make good cookie decorations.
We will also need juice and/or milk to enjoy with our cookies. We will not have any other snacks.
Please send in donations by Wednesday, December 15th.
- For the Book Exchange, everyone should bring a slightly used wrapped book from home. Look for a book that you've read many, many times and think someone in our class might like to read. It can be a picture book, chapter book, or nonfiction book. Bring the wrapped books on Thursday. We will play a game and everyone will go home with a "new" book!
