In L.A. we finally finished our novel, "Sammy Keyes and the Skeleton Man" and we'll start our new novel in January. In Math we are looking at some problem solving using factors and multiples. We have finished our topic in Science (electricity) and we'll be starting a new topic in the new year. All of their science tests have been marked and sent home for signature. In HACE we continue on with decision making and the factors that influence that process. Ask your child about 'TenMarks', an online math practice program that is really challenging but that they can access from anywhere. They can access it from the 'math' tab up above (they need to know their username though. Their password is exactly the same as their username). We get to have P.E. again this week. Yay! We'll do some games this week before starting basketball in January.
Our milk program is done for this year (the kids have done an amazing job delivering each week) and for those of you that are wondering.....we'll send home notices in the new year and the milk program will start up again. We have Secret Santa this week (again, there is no pressure whatsoever to participate....if any parent objects, please let me know asap). We always have a few who choose not to participate and that is absolutely okay. I have asked the kids to make sure their gift is here by Wednesday at the latest and we'll do the exchange on Thursday.
Let's take a look at this week:
Monday, December 13th - P.E.
Tuesday, December 14th - P.E.
Wednesday, December 15th - Last day to bring in Secret Santa gifts
Thursday, December 16th - P.E., Secret Santa Exchange
Friday, December 17th - Last day before Christmas Break!

School starts up again on Tuesday, January 4th. Have an amazing holiday and we'll see you in 2011!!
