Report Cards, Holidays, and Parent Education Night

Report Cards
Yay!  Report cards are on their way.  Can you believe we have already finished the first trimester of school?     Report cards will be sent home on Thursday, November 21.  Please keep the report card,
but sign the yellow card and return it in the envelope it will come home with . 

Thanksgiving Break
There is NO SCHOOL the week of November 25-29.  Enjoy  Thanksgiving with your loved ones.

Penny Drive for the Holidays
Bring in your pennies for the Give Joy campaign, benefiting families in need.  The Give Joy penny drive will run from Nov. 23rd-Dec. 18th with a pizza party on the 20th.

Box Tops
We are continuously collecting Box Tops as a fundraiser for our school and classroom.  Every Box Top clipped gives .10 cents to our school....which adds up to purchase much needed supplies.
Discovery thanks you (and your scissors).


Parent Education Night


Are you feeling like you don't know how to help your child in Math because the method for solving problems looks foreign to you?   Do you want to know more about what to expect with P.A.C.E.?  We, the fifth grade teachers, are going to hold a Parent Education Night in early December to educate parents how to "do" the math that we teach, so you can help at home.  We will also be discussing the P.A.C.E. process so you have an idea of how you can be helping your child in the process.  As soon as the date is set, I will notify parents.
