Robison Elementary Rocket Register
December 2018
Message from Mrs. Gerletti
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for sharing your precious children with us. The hallways have been filled with excitement with the holidays approaching. Our students have been shopping at the Holiday Shop, and we've been blessed with amazing volunteers to make that event possible. Parties will take place on Friday, December 21. The RSVP form is below in case you need another copy. We look forward to seeing you if you are able to attend. Please know that students must be at school until 10:30 in order to be counted present for the day. I wish you all a wonderful break, and for those who are traveling--safe travels. I am fortunate to have my family nearby, so my Christmas will be spent here in Cypress. We will all return to school on Monday, January 7. Enjoy this time to recharge and create wonderful memories with your family! Thank you for making 2018 an amazing year at Robison!
Writing Gallery
The Robison Writing Gallery is showcasing 4th grade writing for the weeks leading up to the holidays!
Mrs. Judson and Mrs. Kruse offered this prompt to students:
Imagine we have just received a new student from out of state to join us at Robison Elementary. This
student is in your math class and needs your help! Using your writing strategies, explain how to solve this problem to the student.
"Mrs. Kruse had a jar of 262 gummy worms. She put the worms equally into 4 bowls for her students
to eat at their tables. She put the leftover worms in a bag. How many worms did Mrs. Kruse put in the bag?"
These students' explanations are showcased in the Gallery: Allison Adamek, Leah Rountree, Daughtry Etheridge, Gabriella Emblen, Soren Bahr, Amiyah Bhakta, and Alanna Goolsby.
You are all invited to read their very creative explanations in the front hall's Writing Gallery.

Student Council Happenings
We would like you know that we collected 1,154 cans for the Fall food drive. All of this food is for Cy-Fair Helping Hands and has been donated to help feed the homeless people in our community. Thank you so much for your generosity! Robison Rockets are always willing to help those in need.
In February, will be having our “Pennies for Patients” collection, which benefits the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. We look forward to seeing how much money we can collect to help fund research and end cancer!
