FRIDAY'S HOLIDAY PARTY BOOK EXCHANGE












On Friday, we will have our annual Holiday party. As part of it, we will have a book exchange with Mr. G's class. Students are to bring in a new book that costs less than 10 dollars. It can be a copy of your child's favorite book, or one your child thinks the classmates will enjoy. The books need to be wrapped. If that is a problem, let me know and I'll make sure it gets wrapped.

Also, Friday is my annual READ-IN party. Students are to come to school, if they so desire, in their pajamas, robe and perhaps slippers. Please pack another pair of shoes for the outside weather to and from school. They may bring their sleeping bags and stuffed animals. They are to bring their wrapped book exchange book AND any book from home they want to read. It is always a fun morning with quiet reading in their favorite clothes, their pajamas!

School will end promptly at 12:00 noon. Teachers have been told to tell parents that there is NO Extended Care on Friday.

Navigators' and Explorer' homework tonight is the page 19 map. All students are to study for their Lewis and Clark final test on Thursday. Everyone, I am certain, will do very well if they study.
Math Class News: Today students learned all about converting Improper Fractions to proper fractions and dividing by fractions. Great day for learning. As one student said, "This is cool, Mrs. Gellert!" and another said, "Learning math with you is fun!" It doesn't get much better than this. Just ask them about an Improper Fraction coming to school in a swim suit. You'll get a kick out of this. Great dinner table math conversation.
