Announcements
Our North Fairview Spelling Bee will be Wednesday the 13th at 1:30 p.m. Congratulations to Dawit, Dayton, Brynn, Lanie, and Malakai for representing our class in this competition!!! Parents are invited to attend. Our two alternates are Delilah and Ava.
In order to participate in the PE roller skating unit, students need to get permission slips signed and returned by December 15th.
- Please read and practice multiplication facts at home! We started multiplication fact quizzes Friday and will plan to take a quiz 2-3 times per week. With each level passed, students will earn parts of an ice cream sundae during the last week of school. There are resources (including printable flashcards) in the Math course in Schoology to help students study. Apps are a great way to practice, too. While the game apps are more fun, they don't provide as much practice as apps that are digital flashcards.
Some students are behind on Zearn. All students should stop at lesson 36. Please have your child check where he/she is at and spend some time catching up if you need too. We will have a test coming up over this unit before break and completing the Zearn lessons will help in preparation for the test.
Gingerbread Houses
We will be making Gingerbread Houses! Students will design a blueprint and follow a budget as they plan what materials they need. We would love to have some volunteers help us fill the orders and then some to help us on the day of the build. Please let us know if you would like to help with that!
December 19th – We will need help preparing for building our Gingerbread Houses. If parents are available on the 19th this could be done anytime throughout the day. I have already had one Mom volunteer to come in around 1:00.
December 20th – Come be a part of the fun and help us build gingerbread houses!
***(Updated times) *** We will do the foundation at 12:00-12:35 and then let that dry, we will decorate our houses at 2:00! Our Winter Party will take place at 3:15.
Donations Needed Too!
In order to make the houses, we are asking for you to donate items. Each student will need to bring in a box of Pop Tarts or generic brand and icing. The strawberry Pop-Tarts already look festive with red and green sprinkles but any kind is fine.
If you are able, we would love to have you donate at least one item from each list. We know this a busy time of year and if you would rather send a Dillon’s gift card or cash for us to do the shopping that would be fine too. Some items we will need are...
- Sturdy White Plates
- Pretzel Sticks
- Regular Twizzlers
- M & M’s (regular or mini)
- Red Hots
- Starlight Mints
- Candy Kisses
- Lifesavers
- Or Any Other Candy
If possible, we would like to have all donations at school by December 14th. Students will be choosing items to decorate houses but they will have to stay within a budget, so they will need to know what there is to choose from!
Thank you so much for making this project tons of fun!
