Reminders and News!


Dear Room 24 Families,

Not sure about you, but the holiday 'busy-ness' has descended upon my house! I hope you are still able to find moments of rest and relaxation amidst all of the fun!

As many of you know, our chorus concert is this Tuesday at 12:40.  We share our wonderful music and chorus teacher, Elizabeth Robertson, with the five other elementary schools, so, yes, it is in the middle of the day! There has been a request of me to ask if anyone is available to record it? If so, let me know.

Our nonfiction writing project is coming along! We are typing it into a google document to transform into our very own nonfiction book. Please send in photos, copies of photos, or downloaded photos for your child's book. It makes the world of difference for the finished product! 

Speaking of Google Drive, we had a great discussion last week regarding technology use. It appears that some children are using their school account for personal use. Here are some of the agreements regarding Google Drive:
*The MVSD Google account is NOT private. It is a learning tool and teachers can view everything that is happening in Google Drive.
*Use of Googel Docs is for classroom assignments only-not for personal use.
*Documents can only be shared with your teacher, unless a collaborative project is assigned and specific directions are given. 

It is room 24's turn to volunteer for carline the week after this one! Please consider volunteering to make sure our kiddos make it safely and efficiently into their car! Carline Volunteers!

The entire third grade will be having a pajama and movie celebration on Thursday, 12/21 and we’ll be making a baggie of trail mix to snack on. Check here to see what you might send in for our Holiday Party Trail Mix

Lastly, I have started to receive Adopt-a-Family donations....thank you!! A few items were not 'claimed' on our sign-up genius, so I updated the list. Please send things in by Friday of this week as we will wrap all of the gifts Friday afternoon! If you want to help wrap, let me know! We will probably begin the process (madness?) around 1:00.  Here is the updated sign-up for Adopt-a-Family

I think that is it....for the time being!

Thanks for all of your help and support. I know I am asking a lot of you at this time of year! I truly appreciate it!

Carrie
