Davis/Martin Peek at the Week
December 12 - December 16
Dear Parents,
A reminder that second quarter ends Friday, December 16th. All five chapter books must be read and tested on by this date to count. Report cards for second quarter will be sent home after we return from Christmas break. We will also be dismissing one hour early on Friday.
On Tuesday there will be a ticketed event called Bring Your Own Device. If students pay 20 UHI tickets and have 0 office referrals, they may bring an electronic to use during our designated time.
On Wednesday students will have their Social Studies test. They have a study guide and a 13 colonies folder. Mrs. Martin's website: http://uhimartin.weebly.com/social-studies.html has numerous resources that will help with studying, too.
We have some fun-themed dress up days this week!
Monday - wear snowflake/snow shirt/all white
Tuesday - wear clothes from your favorite holiday movie
Wednesday - wear holiday decor head to toe
Thursday - wear pjs
Our classroom parties will be on Thursday beginning at 10 a.m. If you signed up to bring an item, please send it to school that morning. Thanks so much for your help with that!
Mrs. Davis & Mrs. Martin
