Last week, the children participated in "An Hour of Code" in Room 10. They were very excited about this opportunity and enjoyed learning how to code a computer game. After they finished coding Minecraft, they were free to explore other coding opportunities. It was a successful endeavor.
DATES, DATES AND MORE DATES TO REMEMBER...
Tomorrow (providing the snow doesn't cause a school closing) everyone (cast and crew) will be participating in our initial read-through of their class play, Maria's River. Your child should bring a second snack tomorrow, which will be eaten at 3:20pm. IF IT IS CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE SNOW DAY IS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13TH. Please pick up your Thespian outside the music room in the lower level of the school promptly at 5:00pm.
The DARE essay is due on or before December 23rd. The essays may be hand-written or typed. I have given the children three 45-minute time frames to work on their essay at school. Now, they should complete the essays at home. The DARE Graduation will be Friday, January 13th at 9:45am.
Our Holiday party will be held on Friday, December 23rd at 9:45am. We will be having breakfast again. Feel free to join us, if you'd like. Our Room Parents will be sending out a request for both treats for the party and goodies for making Gingerbread Houses. We will be joining our 2nd grade buddies on Tuesday, December 20th at 9:45am to build the gingerbread houses.
Join us for the Crayfish Learning Fair on Thursday, December 22nd at 9:45am in the cafeteria. We are showcasing the children's knowledge of crayfish. You can stay for the full hour and walk around to see all of the projects, or stay for just a few minutes to see your child's project. It's up to you.
When we said that 5th grade was a busy year, we weren't kidding!!! Take care, Lester B. and class
