Letters to Noah

A few weeks ago we learned about a boy living in South Lyon who had terminal cancer. He wanted to receive Christmas cards because Christmas is his favorite holiday. I asked the students if they would want to help Noah out and they all were ecstatic. Here are some pictures of the students making this poor boy's wish come true!







Hat Day!

Oops! I almost forgot, tomorrow is hat day. $1 donation will go towards Santaland.


Christmas Gifts!

The students have already made one of their gifts for you this past week. If you have not done so already, please send in $6 for your child's special gift that they have made for you by Monday, November 30th! Thanks so much!!

Publishing Party

Reminder!! Our first ever publishing party is scheduled for tomorrow at 10 am. This is an exciting time for students to show off their writing expertise! If you are able to bring a snack, please let me know. REMEMBER, we have nut allergies, so please be aware. Thanks for your understanding. We are all looking forward to showing off our writing!

Spelling Words

Here are this week's spelling words.

List A
List B

Starting next week, I will no longer upload the lists. Instead I will upload a copy of the Look, Say, Spell, Cover, Write, Check. This is a strategy the students use at school to help them learn their words that is very useful. I encourage you to use the strategy at home!

Eisenhower Boys Baseball Camp

Eisenhower is having a K-6 Boys Baseball Camp on December 6th from 9-1. The cost for this camp is $45. I tried to upload the form, but was unable to. If you are interested in signing your child up, let me know and I'll get you a form!
