Dear Parents/Guardians,

One more week till the Christmas break! Help me with keeping your kids focused. They still have things to learn as I need to teach them.

This week the kids will not have a language arts packet. They still need to study their spelling words.  There will be one page of math homework on Thursday.  Please read at least 20 minutes every night and practice multiplication facts.

The Reflections contest deadline is approaching fast. Those who are participating need to get the paperwork in and finish their projects.

We will have the 4th grade treasure hunt for those who read chapter books during December after the holiday. So you might want to find a good book to read over the break.

This Friday will be our BEST activity for those who did not earn a colt citation. We will watch a movie before lunch. After lunch, we will have a Christmas party (for everyone in our class) from 12:15-1:15. If you are able to help with our party, please call Mrs. Nielsen at the school on Tuesday. We need to organize what we will do.

Sincerely,
Melissa Nielsen

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Wow! What a snowy weekend we had. I was driving during the storm and had to have my van pushed two times. Luckily the sun came out yesterday.

This week, the students will have Language Arts homework. Please go over it to make sure your child understands it. Practice spelling and read every night. Math chapter 6 is still going. The concept is division with remainders. Try to get on to Connected Online to have your kids practice. Go to chapter 6, lesson 7.

You should expect math homework today, Wednesday, and Thursday (lesson 9, 10, and 11). Homework must be handed in Friday, or your child will be in Study Hall after lunch.

Encourage your child to read a chapter book this month. The monthly treasure hunt is a great reward for a job well done.

We are in need of donations of pencils and AA batteries still.

Thanks for your continued support,

Melissa Nielsen

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Thanksgiving was great for me! I got to spend a lot of time with my family in northern Utah. I hope you got some kind of break, too.
