Parent Letter

Hello to all!  It is the final week of school before our winter break and I am sure that we are all very EXCITED about that.  We have a busy week ahead of us with wrapping up our units in literacy and social studies, so a break will be needed after all of our testing!  Yah!

Hopefully your child took some time this weekend to study for the social studies test today.  Your child had a study guide and social studies book to help with studying.  Maybe some of the class used the link on my blog page to help them study too.  Please see that your child brings back his or her social studies book if it has not been returned already.  Once all of the tests are corrected, I will send his or her test home for you to see the results.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.  Thanks!


Today your child will be receiving his or her math test today.  There is a note attached to the test asking you to look over the test with your child and then sign and return the test to school.  Some students will be receiving a unit review attached to the test.  Please remove the review packet and have your child complete the review packet.  Your child will benefit with the review of the skills from this unit, so please have your child review those skills.  You do NOT need to return the packet completed, but you can if you would like.  The only thing your child DOES need to return to me is the math test, with the sheet attached and your signature.  Please contact me with any questions.  Thank you!

The “Big Blast” party that we have earned from our fundraiser will take place on Tuesday, December 18th.  We will be celebrating from 9:00-10:30.  Thank you to the parents that have volunteered time from their day to help us out that morning.  It will be organized chaos in the gym, but the students will have a fantastic time!  We are super excited for the party!

On Friday, you also received information about our "Care and Share" party for Thursday.  Thank you in advance to those of you that have volunteered to supply snacks for our classroom party.  It is VERY much appreciated!  Please see that your child has planned what he/she is going to create for the “Care and Share” party on Thursday.  Also, please have your child bring in any supplies he/she needs for the magnet he/she is creating.  If you have any EXTRA craft supplies that you would be willing to donate for other students, that would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks a bunch!


For the past few weeks, I have been sending home fluency passages that your child has practiced in school and then taken home on the weekend to practice with you.  We are practicing a new fluency passage in class, but I will NOT be sending home the passage to practice and bring back.  Your child will bring the passage home but will not need to have it signed and brought back.  They can have a little break from it and enjoy the holiday weekend.  Please look for a new fluency passage after break.  Thanks!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  Have a wonderful winter break and see you in 2013!

Sincerely,
Mrs. McCarvile
