Happy Monday

I hope you were able to see your child's midterm over the weekend.   They are very aware of the fact that there is time to make improvements before the report cards go out around the 3rd week of January.
Thank you to those of you that brought food for the food bank.  Keep it coming as the 2nd graders are collecting it every day and we can see the pile of food grow!!!!  Also, thank you to those of you that brought in items for our shelter animals.  They will love you.  Keep it coming also.  We will be collecting through December 19th.
Also, on December 19th is the Music Program.  I hope you looked at your schedule and have made plans for one of the two performances.
Tomorrow is the holiday lunch.  We have lunch at 12:10 if you are joining your child.
Today, we started our tour of the Southeast Region.  We learned about 2 places in Florida.  Ask your child what they are and if they can tell you, write them in the planner for free money.
Reminder:  We are taking our MAP reading test on Wednesday during our reading block time so please make every effort to have your child here so they don't have to miss class time to make it up.
In math today, we had fun using data to find the range, median, and mode.  This is W3 on IXL if they wish to practice it tonight on computer.
Today our word for SchoolToolsTV/Character Counts meetings is greedy.  We had a great discussion about it this morning and how we can turn that word around especially this holiday season.  Ask your child what we talked about today about # of gifts.
Have a great night.
