Typing is a skill that students will use for the rest of their lives. Please refer to previous newsletters or the hand out I'm sending home before Winter Break on how students can access Typing.com at home. This is a skill that students need to practice in order to improve.
Winter Break Reading
I would love to show off those who are reading over Winter Break. So if you find your child(ren) reading, email me the picture and, with permission, I'll post them on Twitter. I might even put some in the January Newsletter.
Also I will be sharing another newsletter about an AMAZING gift of reading from Capstone Publishing Company. This is a company that we purchase many of our well loved nonfiction and fiction books from.

Recess Makerspace
There have been cool activities that have happened. Students made bristle bots and tried to reach the finish line on a track. Check out the neat video on the Hollywood Elementary School PTA Facebook page. They have also been using K'Nex to build bridges. When I stopped by the other day, I saw a bridge that was built and it was able to hold 7 1/2 pounds without breaking!
If your child would like to participate, he/she needs to return the permission slip found below. Enrollment in Makerspace is open all year long, so there is still time to join in the fun! Just print out and return the permission slip to school to be added to the list.
