This past week was unusual to say the least. Besides the fact that we had a snow day, a delayed start, and a noon dismissal, we also spent part of three days completing the Track My Progress test. Unfortunately, that means there was not a lot of continuity to our learning this past week. Hopefully we will be able to get into more of a rhythm this week before heading into the holiday break.
Two things to remember for this week:
One - Mrs. McClure sent home a notice in the Friday Folder about some materials that are needed in order for the students to make salt dough maps of Vermont. Please read over the notice carefully, and send in the needed materials, if at all possible.
Two - Students who are members of the band or chorus have their winter concert this Thursday (December 18th) at 6:15pm.
This will be my last blog in 2014, so I will take this opportunity to wish you happy holidays and a great start to the new year!

December Happenings
Included in last Friday's folder was a free youth pass to the Vermont Historical Society in Montpelier and a free youth ticket to a Dartmouth women's basketball game. These passes were given out at our last two field trips, in hopes that the students might return with their families.
The December book order, which is due this coming Thursday, was also included in the folder. If you are considering ordering books, please keep in mind that a coupon was included for a free book when you spend at least $10 and Scholastic is guaranteeing delivery by December 19th. As always, you can place your order online by using the classroom code LBMD8.
I am hoping to show the movie "Chronicles of Narnia" on the Friday before the holiday break, so we can compare it to the book The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which I have been reading aloud to the class. If you have a copy of the movie that I could borrow, please let me know. Also, the movie is rated PG, so please contact me if you have concerns about your child watching it in class.
Finally, remember that this Thursday is a noon dismissal for students. Send in a note if your child will have a change to their normal dismissal routine. Thanks!
