Scholars -    From Kid Gov – If you would like to participate in “Frosty Friends” you are invited to.  What is Frosty Friends you ask….you will receive a name of another person who is interested in playing this game but shhhh don’t tell, it’s a secret until the 19^th.  You CAN NOT buy your FF friend a gift, you are to write them a nice note or find a great quote that will make them smile each day next week.  If you are interested Kid Gov has will have a table set up today(12^th) in Ms. Kessler’s room.   You will turn your name in and by the end of the day you will draw who your Frosty Friend is. 

Scholars you will notice that your homework has been cut short this week.  We have decided to do that because we want you to use your time in the morning and waiting for the bus to brush up on your Math Skill and Motion and Design objectives so you can shine on the Case 21 tests next week.  Use your notebook and other scholars to help you fill out your Study Guide.  Ask another scholar or an adult to help you study the concepts.  The examples that are real life to you will help you to understand some of the new concepts you have learned this quarter.  If you are interested in participating in the Frosty Friends game please write “I am interested” on the back of your buzz and if you are not we are just curious to why, so please tell us why you are not interested on the back of your buzz now.  We hope that all of you have a wonderful Holiday break and as always we are very proud of you and look forward to returning in January to have a wonderful second half of 5^th grade!

Parents – We will take our Quarter 2 Case21 in Reading, Math, and Science Monday – Wednesday.  Please help your child review addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of decimals in math.  Also, quiz them on the study guide in science.  We feel as though this study guide will really help them do a fantastic job on the test.  We will continue to have Science on Monday and Tuesday afternoon.  Thank you to Margaret, Laurie, Becky, Julie, and Kelly Zellman for offering to volunteer for our Bowling get together on Sunday.  Also, thank you to Margaret, Chris Z., and Ms. Missy for chaperoning our field trip to the Marbles Museum.

Your child will go home with their report card on the 19^th.  Of course if you feel as though there are any errors don’t hesitate to contact either of us.  We have been known to make a few.  We hope you all have a wonderful Holiday break and look forward to seeing each of you in January for our second half of 5^th grade! It is hard to believe!

Those of you that are able to join our Learning Experience on Friday, December 19^th at 9:30am, we look forward to seeing you.! Thank you for all that you do to support our learning environment .__________________Scholars Initials that you have read the BUZZ
