Holiday Fun

Aloha Families!  This is our last week before break and we have lots of activities this week!

This week we will be doing lots of activities with Gingerbread.  We will be reading many different  versions of the Gingerbread Man, making gingerbread houses, and even doing a little play called the Gingerbread Baby.

Our spelling words this week are Holiday Words. If your child received 100% on their pre-test this week they do not have any Spelling homework this week.  On Tuesday I will be sending home a fun assignment to create a new suit for Santa.  It is due on Friday, so that students have plenty of time to come up with a fun idea.

On Wednesday the students will be participating in a Holiday sing along in the afternoon.  Ms. Aubrey the music teacher is asking all students to wear something festive like a red, green or white shirt.  Santa hats, or reindeer antlers are also great. Don't forget that Wednesday is a full day of school!

On Friday we will have our Holiday Gift Exchange and will be making our edible Christmas Trees.  After lunch we will be cleaning out our desks and bringing home our work from the semester.

I would like to wish everyone a wonderful Holiday Season and hope you have a joyful, and restful break!

Week of December 3rd

Aloha Families!  This week we will be finishing up our Nocturnal animal reports.  The students will be working on a project to go with the report.  They have their choice of a diorama or poster to show the animal in it's habitat.  If you have a shoe box at home please send it in with your student.  Otherwise they will just work on a poster here at school.

Don't forget this week on Thursday is our school's Tsunami Drill.  Please make sure your child wears shoes for the hike up the hill, and for PE.  You can check the school website for any information you may need.
