Week of November 30, 2015

Welcome to winter weather!  Please remember that on most days we will still be outside for recess, so students should have clothing items to help them stay warm and protected (gloves, hats, scarves, boots, etc.).

Quote submitted by T.D. "Observe good faith and justice toward all nations.  Cultivate peace and harmony with all."  - George Washington

Important dates coming up:

   Tuesday, December 8 is our first trip to Jay Peak.  Conditions may be checked here:  http://jaypeakresort.com/skiing-riding/the-mountain/conditions-weather

  Wednesday, December 16 is the next Independent Reading (IR) due date.  Students should still have the necessary information, expectations, and sample rubric in their IR folders.

Wednesday, November 18

Please note that a few final Jay Peak forms need to be submitted (your student should know if they need to return anything).  Students who can join us for the December 8 trip were fitted for boots today.

Also, we are taking part in a canned food drive (competition) with other grades here at SATEC.  Students do not have to bring in any items, but if it is possible to do so, we greatly appreciate it!  We will keep a tally of the number of cans collected in Mr. Murphy's room.  This is for the Operation Happiness Food Drive.  Thank you in advance for any support you can offer!

Mr. Gleim's homework is posted on the assignments tab.
