A Few More Days till the Holiday Break!!

Wow!  How fast this year has flown by.  There are only a few days until the Holiday Break.  I am looking forward to some rest and relaxation with friends and family.   Just a few reminders before we head off next week.

Inclement Weather

Ms. Wacker posted the following message to her blog this afternoon.

In case of inclement weather, please do the following:

1.  Log on to www.cobbk12.org for the most up to date information on school closings

2.  Watch the news and listen for updates for Cobb County Schools

Please do not call the school.  Our phones are overwhelmed on mornings where you think school may be closed.  The other options are better sources of information and you will get a quicker answer.

Holiday Book Exchange

Please don't forget to bring in your new paperback book for the Holiday Book Exchange.  Boys should bring in books that another boy would enjoy and girls should bring in books that another girl would enjoy.  Please label the book "boy" or "girl".  Send in the wrapped book on Wednesday, Dec. 15th, Tomorrow.  This is a fun activity and a way to promote the love of reading.

Holiday Party

Our Holiday Party will be Friday, December 17, 12:30-1:30.  Our wonderful room mom, Sue Larson, is organizing this.  If you would like to attend or help, please contact her for details.

I have a holiday gift idea for you!  New pencils, folders, crayons, colored pencils, and other school supplies make excellent stocking stuffers!!  Everyone's supplies are low - check with your child and see if you can restock for them.

We could also use notebook paper and expo markers in the classroom for the upcoming year.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

Have a Happy Holiday!!!

Chris

A Few Reminders Before Winter Break

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break and didn't eat too much, I know that I did.  It was nice to see everyone at the Friends and Family Luncheon.  The students were so excited that you shared in that wonderful Thanksgiving meal the cafeteria prepared.

Pictures

Thank you to those who have sent in their pictures and/or picture money.  For anyone that has it sitting on the table, don't let it get mixed in with Christmas cards and forget.  Please make a decision and send in the pictures or the money.

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

Wednesday, December 7th we are headed to the Cobb Energy Center to hear the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra perform.  We will leave Eastvalley at 9:15 and return around 12:15.  We ask the students to "dress up" for this occasion.  No jeans, sweat pants, t-shirts with writing, etc..., think Sunday best.  If you haven't turned in your permission slip, please return before Friday, December 3rd.

Cobb County Check Point Testing

Checkpoint testing for the 1st - 5th grade will be on Monday, December the 6th and Wednesday, December the 7th in the morning from 8:00 - 9:30.  Please see that your child gets a good night sleep, eats a hearty breakfast and arrives to school on time.  Testing will begin promptly at 8:00.  This test is an indicator of what your child has learned during the year and will assist us with our instruction for the rest of the year.  Please do not put any pressure on your child.  They are doing well and working very hard in class.

Elfis Musical

Tomorrow night the chorus will be putting on "Elfis and the Sleigh Rider's" at 6:30 pm in the cafeteria. 

Driftwood Pics

I wanted to share a few pics from Driftwood.  If you are interested in a cd from the Driftwood trip, please send in $5.00 by Friday to reserve your copy.

 
What an Awesome Class!!!!

 
Arriving at Driftwood. 

 
Mr. Davis was a little stuffy.  EWWWWWW!!!!

 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns.

Thank you,

Chris
