Last School Week of 2013 Reminders

Hello,

I have just a few reminders before the last week of school for the year of 2013 begins:

1.  Book reports are due tomorrow, Monday, December 16th.  Puzzles should be cut, and placed into either a paper or plastic bag with the student's name on it.

2.  I will be handing out the individual report portion of the Mission project this week at school.

3.  The Christmas Program is this Thursday, the 19th at 7:00pm:

• There will be a rehearsal at 1:00pm on Thursday for grandparents and friends who would like to avoid the busier nighttime service.
• The students are to arrive at 6:30pm at our classroom where they will gather before the program.

4.  There will be no spelling or religion tests on Friday this week.  But there will be a quiz on the Beatitudes on Thursday.

I will be sending out more reminders this week!

Merry Christmas!

Book Report Clarification

Hello Parents,

I just wanted to clarify a few of the directions for the mystery book report due next Monday 12/16.

1.  Yes, the pictures/drawings go on the front of the puzzle pieces, while the writing is to go on the back of the puzzle pieces.  For the first puzzle piece (name, book title, author, and rating) the students could draw a picture of the book or an illustration that depicts the title (ex, a red pyramid for The Red Pyramid, etc).

2.  As for the poster board that the puzzle is supposed to be backed with,  I realize that this instruction comes at the end of the list, so many will have already written on the back of the puzzle pieces.  So, I am no longer making it a requirement for the puzzle to be pasted onto poster board.  That being said, if you have already done so, that is fine, but if not, that is also fine.  I am accepting the book reports either way!

Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any more questions about the book report.

Hope you have all been staying warm this weekend!
