This week everyone will be taking all 20 homophones on Friday's spelling test.  It is so important that your child knows the meaning of each word so that they can spell it correctly.  I am NOT giving extra spelling homework this week...just studying the words along with their meanings.

ate, eight, write, right, sum, some, there, their, they're, week, weak, by, buy, bye, cent, scent, sent, heel, hill, heal

Practice + and - timed facts each night.  Next week I'll take their five minute grades.

We enjoyed act I of The Nutcracker ballet today.  Ask your child about it!

I can not tell you how much we're enjoying making the ornaments with our moms who have volunteered!  The ornaments are all different, and all sooooo good!  Today Jackson's mom came.  Andrew Wenger's mom comes Friday, and Noah Harrell's mom comes next Monday.  I still have a couple of things to make, along with finishing up on standards, and assessments, assessments, assessments.  I need you child here all day, every day unless they are sick :)

There is a permission slip coming home today about our shopping trip to The Dollar Tree and how you may help out.

There should be a note coming home later in the week from our room mothers regarding the class Christmas party on the 20th.  That will be an early dismissal day.
