Tomorrow's party!!

Just wanted to remind everyone that our holiday party is still on for tomorrow, Tuesday, December 21st from 1:30-3 in the afternoon.  If you have not done so yet, please remember to send in a wrapped activity book, crayons/colored pencils/markers for our book exchange.  Please send a book appropriate for a boy if your child is a boy, or a book appropriate for a girl if your child is a girl.  

 

Oops! Forgot!

Sorry!  I forgot to mention this in the last email.  I checked some of the kids on spelling concepts that were taught throughout the year.  I am using this to help students practice skills that may be still confusing to them. 

Group A will be having a spelling test on Monday with the same words from last week.  I want to make sure they "get" the concept and most kids in this group didn't do so hot on the test last week.  All other groups do not have spelling words this week, so there will not be a test.

As mentioned at conferences, I will be retesting all the kids with the 25 word "test" to help me dig a little deeper.  It will pinpoint exactly what concepts are solid and which need to be retaught or practiced some more.  After the new year, some spelling groups might change due to the progress of the kids.  I hope this clarifies any confusion over spelling and I will update you as to how your child did after the first of the year.

Thanks!!

 

Important Info

There are a couple important bits of info for the week...

Tomorrow is a Switzer Spirit Day, have your child wear their Santa hat, Rudolph antlers, Christmas headbands, or anything else that might show their Christmas spirit.  Also, tomorrow afternoon we will be having a game day celebration  to celebrate filling the marble jar.  Please send in a board game or card game for your child to play in the afternoon.  We will be doing no video games this time around.

Also, please don't forget that Tuesday will be our Christmas party.  Send in a wrapped activity book with crayons, markers or colored pencils.  We will be doing an exchange on Tuesday during our party.  If you can send them in on Monday, that would be great!

Lastly, your child brought home a math review for the math test tomorrow.  They are only required to do the red side of each paper. 

Thanks so much!!
