Stafford's Scoop

Hi Parents,

I hope you all have a wonderful break with your family and get plenty of good food and relaxation. I am so proud of how hard your children have been working in school.

There are a few things that I want to be sure you know about so that you can get it on your calendars.

We are working on some top secret poems in class right now. Therefore, some of the students may have a poem or two to finish up on over the break so they are not behind when we get back. We will be having a poetry recitation as our December class party. It will be held on Dec 21st at 2:00p.m. Your child will have by then written some beautiful poems for you to hear, so please try to get time off of work to join us.

We have a gift book exchange that will be held on Dec 21st in the morning. The kids all bring a new book to put in the exchange. Then they pick a book, steal the books, and trade the books until everyone ends up with a new book. It is a lot of fun, so please in your outings over the next few weeks, think about picking up a 4th grade level book. You will also receive a reminder in your child's planner next week about this too.

I just submitted a new book order to Scholastic today for you to order from in time for the holidays. It is very easy to order on online, so take advantage of this great resource for books and other holiday gifts. I sent the order forms home with a letter today in your child's accordion folder. If you lose it, the class activation code is: GRJKQ Just go to www.scholastic.com/bookclubs to get started. The selection on the website is much more extensive than just the order forms your child brought home today. The due date for your orders is Dec. 2nd so that we can be sure to have everything before the holidays.

I wold like to thank all of our parents who helped with the Middle Ages Fair. It was a huge success, and a wonderful way to culminate our Middle Ages unit. Our parents do so much to help us each year. I feel very blessed to work with all of you and your children.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving,
Fondly,
Liz

Hi Liz- Megan was hoping to get you something to use in the classroom for Christmas, I wondered if you had anything in particular you need? Maybe a certain book etc?
