*  PJ Day and Book Swap on Wednesday.  Look for the note in your child's "Organizer." 
* Earning $$$$ for Technology in Room 22 --- just our classroom.  I have lovely, CALENDARS that contain community history (pictures) of the Ohlones, early settlers and buildings.  Each calendar costs $10.00, but we get to keep 1/2 of that and make a great profit.  Please send your order in with your child, and I'll send a calendar home.  Thanks!!  

1.  Excel Homework #83:  Your child had ample time (45 minutes) to finish in class.  If your child wasn't able to finish work at school, please have him/her finish math at home.  PLEASE correct your child's work at home.  If you find incorrect answers, please guide him/her to the correct answer.  WHEN the ENTIRE paper is finished and completely correct, please sign both sides and have your child put it in his/her "Organizer" in the Homework section for the return trip to school.  After papers are recorded and corrected, I recycle them at school.  HINT:  If you find any math papers in your child's "Organizer" they have not been turned in.   Please empty the "Completed Work" section of your child's "Organizer" EVERY DAY. 
2.  NEW today Study for Science Test on Friday  Your child has participated in several experiments in class involving energy & matter.  We read & discussed the unit in November & December.  Today your child made "study cards" as we reviewed the concepts in the unit.   Please help your child study his/her "study cards."  Science terms/questions are on the front, and the definitions/answers are on the back of each card.  There are 17 cards.  At first, your child can study by himself/herself, and then when he/she is ready, you can read the front of each card and test to be sure he/she knows the terms by checking the back of each card.  This is a study skill that will use in the future as he she moves into Jr. High School, High School, and College.  You are teaching a method of study for future years. 
3.  TOMORROW Literature Circle Job due Weds., 12/14 **BRING JOB AND BOOK:  Your child brought home a Literature Circle last week (Homework Section of his/her"Organizer").  Be sure your child brings his/her completed Literature Circle Job and Book on WEDNESDAY at 7:55, since we start Literature Circle about 8:05.  Give your child time to practice reading the report, so he/she is ready to read it to his/her group tomorrow.
