Weather Quiz

Look in your child's binder tonight for an important Study Guide! There will be a quiz on Friday! It will cover weather instruments. Students should be able to identify the instruments and what they measure. We will be making our own weather instruments and collecting weather data during the month of December.

Congratulations!

Believe

I don't know about you, but I am feeling the holiday spirit! Use the following link to enjoy some holiday cheer with your child: http://social.macys.com/believe/#/home Your child can create a magical letter for Santa using a quill pen and then decorate it with fun holiday stamps. The letter can be printed out, stamped and addressed to the North Pole, and dropped off at Santa's special letterbox in Macy's. For every letter received Macy's will be donating $1 to the Make A Wish Foundation up to one million dollars! Macy's will also be taking all stamped letters to the post office to be mailed to Santa. What a great way to support the Make a Wish Foundation! Have fun. :)
