Families of Room 31 ~
It is hard to believe that we are in our final week before our December break. I know many families are enjoying some family / holiday time together in the days / weeks to come. I hope you all find some well deserved relaxation/.
Trimester 1 has officially closed and report cards come home today with your child. It is important for you to review these grades with your child celebrating their successes and setting goals in areas for improvement. Having a growth mindset has been a topic of conversation in fourth grade this year. It is important for students to understand that hard work and persistence can help any of us achieve whatever we put our mind to.
Please know that their report card should stay home, yet the envelope needs to be signed and returned to school. Please reach out if you have any questions / concerns.
On another note, a concert form from our music teacher come home today. Although the due date is January 5th, we discussed that it would be best / easier if the students were to return it to school this week.
Lastly, our SNOWFLAKE FESTIVAL is this Friday morning. As of this point I have 3 parents confirmed to assist. It would be great if a few more were able to assist. If you believe you are available between 9:15 and 11:15, please let me know.
Wishing everyone Happy Holidays and a restful, healthy December break!

Just
sending a little message to let you know that I’m thinking of all of my
families this Christmas morning. As I
watch this beautiful snow fall, George (my cat) is on my lap and Gracie (George’s
sister) on my shoulder keeping me snuggly warm.
From my family to yours…..

I'm reaching out to my families in hopes that I can find some parent volunteer's for our snowflake festival on Friday, December 22nd. I am hoping to get 6 parents to volunteer from 9:15 - 11:15. Our class will be working in 6 groups to design and create 6 large geometric paper snowmen to hang in our windows. If you are able to help out, please let me know.
This year the shop will be only a ONE DAY sale. Any student who wants to shop and who brings in money, may shop. For those new to Coolidge, the Gingerbread Shop is an opportunity for students to purchase inexpensive gifts during the school day to give to their family members and friends. Envelopes were sent home last week for the students to use. (You can still shop without the envelope!) The class will have a PREVIEW of the shop at some point on Thursday. IF you have not done so already, and you would like your child to shop on Friday, please make sure they have their money in an envelope and at school by Friday.
