A few reminders:

1. Our test is tomorrow. Students will complete an outline for their writing in class today to help them with the writing portion of the test.
2. Our dress up day will have to be moved to Thursday. Please send in the costume for your child to change into later on in the day.
3. These will be the final grades for Social Studies for this 9 week period.

Also, don’t forget to send in your $3.00 for art if you have not already done so. This will allow EVERY child to make a Christmas ornament.

I would like for the students to dress up as one of the historical figures we have studied this nine weeks (Sequoyah, Tomochichi, Mary Musgrove, or James Oglethorpe) on Wednesday. If your child chooses to do this, please have him/her dress appropriately for the time period and culture as well as prepare three index cards with three facts to tell the class about the person they are representing. This will be a presentation to the class, and we may also present to another grade group.

This is optional and no grade will be taken, but I believe the students will enjoy it!

Please email me with specific questions.
